Very nice early Tornister in great condition! Also congratulations on 1000 subs - well deserved my friend! :) :) First strap (1917) is "7./Infanterie Regiment 21", an the other (1916) is double stamped "5/.Infanterie Regiment" on top and "smoething./infanterie regiment 21". Very nice work on the restoration - turned out great! :)
Dude, I like your totally unpretentious style. You're learning along the way and you are humble. I really enjoy watching all your videos, they are both relaxing and satisfying. Herzlichen glückwunsch Kamerad!
Thank you! That is my goal to make a video diary of the whole process. I am glad if anyone finds this process interesting and welcome every informative comment.
Nice work on a great tornister. Those WW1 straps are are veterans now. It is interesting how the front straps degrade so much compared to the much older backstraps. My 1940 front straps are similar. Thanks for the video.
You have an M34 Affe,with reissued WWI shoulder straps marked for 2 different Jaeger units, an ultra cool combination. No way of knowing when or how these were paired up, but that the straps came from the same depot and were probably reissued as replacements sometime during the war.
usually tornisters werent worn with their own straps but were hooked into the y frame each soldier had on his back already thats those leather strops that spread the weight of the ammo belt and ofcourse the tornister eavenly
Hello:) I habe a question about my „affe“ Tornister. So i dont know of my Tornister came from ww1 or ww2 beacause inside my Tornister is real wood „liner“, also my Tornister habe some hocks and leather stripes from ww1 but on the back where the signature ist than they is stempled: Ernst Kurz Frankfurt 1937 So i dont know if my Tornister was used in ww1 and than laiter in ww2 or ist this rad Tornister or hj?🤷♂️
What do you mean how they where worn? How to put them one, or what to put in them? Or who used them? You can do a youtube or google search for the tornister. Many great videos. One good form Der Grenadier, link to his video. ua-cam.com/video/IfC-bBjrThY/v-deo.html
I was pleasantly surprised with the workmanship! I would've been afraid of cutting the straps off! How did you treat the fur? My tornister could use it
Thanks :) Well WWII H&R has a very good video on the fur: ua-cam.com/video/qFNRySl9jX0/v-deo.html I did not use the wire brush for mine, just a regular cleaning brush.
Tornister its a german word derived from the romanian word ,,Traista,,. Also ranzen its derived from romanian ,,ranita,,( pronounced ranitza) ,from wich the japanese took the word ,,randoseru,,. I think a romanian backpack its the ancestor to the german tornisters and japanese randoseru backpacks. Romanian army used verry rugged and verry ancient looking backpacks until recently but they are bigger than these WW1 small backpacks. You would see resemblance thogh if you had a romanian backpack ,craftsmanship its similar just much more rugged ,like a tornister on steroids.
Sorry my friend! Can´t do that right now. I don´t want you to ship your tornister to me, and it sitting on my shelf for weeks or months. But I will keep you in mind if I start to take repairs by request ;) But thank you for asking.

My 1940 front straps are similar.

I’ve became very hesitant abt the Straps. Do the tornister straps sell seperately or together?
Together!

I just picked up a Tornister just like this mine is dated 1938. How did you treat the fur on yours?
I did this: ua-cam.com/video/qFNRySl9jX0/v-deo.html
Does any one know how these tornisters worn?
can you recommend a video ?

isn't replacing the original leather ruining it?
Nice
Thanks! :)

Why did they have fur? Perhaps a combination of esthetics and water resistance?
Think part tradition and also to help from water getting into the bag in rain or snow.
@@vintagemountaineeringandhi6060 Probably to be used as a head pillow too.
Whats the song from the intro?

Hello
Great job, nice that you are doing it.
Would you fix a Tornister for me if I pay the costs?
Greetings from Germany
