    Vintage 1943 Swiss Army cowhide mountaineer’s rucksack – “Haaraffe Tornister”

    This rare and iconic Swiss Army rucksack, nicknamed the Haaraffe Tornister (“hairy ape backpack”), was issued in 1940 and has since become a true classic in our collection.

    After more than 80 years, this piece has stood the test of time. It shows visible signs of age and use, consistent with its history.
