Original Italian Army M29 combat assault pack dated 1936. Constructed from heavy canvas with leather reinforcements and steel hardware throughout. This early-war pack was designed for frontline infantry use and features the characteristic twin external pouches and multiple attachment points for field equipment. All leather remains soft and supple with no cracking or stiffening, and the canvas retains strong structure with honest period wear. A very well-preserved example of pre-war Italian field equipment.
The Italian M29 combat pack was introduced in the interwar period and remained in use through the Second World War. These packs were issued to Italian infantry units and designed to carry essential field equipment during combat operations. Examples dated to the mid-1930s are particularly desirable, representing early production prior to wartime material shortages and simplifications.
Very good original condition. Canvas is strong with no major tears. Leather is soft and intact with no cracking. Hardware complete and functional. Displays expected service wear consistent with age and use.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor

Original militaria is defined by materials, construction techniques, markings, and age-consistent wear. Understanding these indicators is essential for assessing authenticity and historical integrity.
