A WWII German late-war simplified M44 pattern artillery rucksack measuring 16.0" x 12.0", issued circa 1944. Constructed from olive-green canvas, this pocketless pattern features a single main drawstring compartment secured by a central leather strap, reflecting late-war resource-saving measures. The top reverse features a leather reinforcement panel fitted with steel hooks and D-rings designed for attachment to infantry combat Y-straps. The underside of the leather panel is stamped with blue ink markings reading "0/0676/1009" (RB-Nr code) above a clear "1944" date stamp. Condition shows service wear, heavy metal oxidation, canvas soiling, and zig-zag field darning repairs near the top seam.
