Vintage 1955′ Swiss army ‘Salt & Pepper’ mountaineers rucksack
This classic, high quality backpack is perfect for hiking or everyday use!
I personally have been using a similar bag every day for years now!
The outer layer of the bag is made of canvas in olive-green color.
The schoulder- & front straps and bottom are made of very robust, strong saddle leather.
The leather parts have been cleaned and oiled, making the bag more flexible and comfortable to wear!
The leather on the back is marked with origional initials of the first owner and year.
After almost 70 years the bag remains in worn condition and shows signs of use.
Sadly one of the leather straps above the shoulder strap snapped but this doesn’t matter while wearing the bag and can easily be fixed by a leather craftsman. There’s also a cut in the top canvas flap.
The Backpack stood the test of being used for years and will last just as long!

No, this is no orc spear or some other movie prop but you might consider this an as cruel device.
This crude tool actually is a real whaling harpoon, used in the early 1800’s!
Although I hope we all agree that hunting these majestic creatures is a horrible occasion, the whaling industry has been very important to the European history and economy. Back then the oil that was obtained from whales was used to produce many everyday products such as lamp oil, candles, and soap and therefor was essential. Sadly overhunting the arctic seas for centuries has been devastating to the populations of many whale species. Because of its dark past, mixed vibes remain attached to this rare relic though I still consider it a true piece of history that comes with loads of adventurous tales!
It was hand-wrought and forged in iron with a cone to attach a wooden handle.
This relic would be an unique piece to add to your whaling collection or cabinet of curiosities!
After almost two centuries the harpoon remains in worn condition and shows an oxidised patina.
After sanding off the coarse rust the iron tool has been treated with varnish to give the surface a protective layer and a subtle glossy finish.
