Czechoslovak Army large field rucksack (tlumok, velka polni) in the 1950s pattern, the direct forerunner of the well-known vz. 60 pack. Heavy linen-weave canvas body with a rounded silhouette, drawstring neck running through metal grommets, and a full storm flap secured by a webbing strap with a stamped alloy tip. Two external pockets across the front, each with its own strap and roller buckle. D-rings at the base and reinforced tabs up the sides are the attachment points for the nosne remeni Y-strap suspenders, which is how these were carried on the man; the pack has no sewn-on shoulder straps by design. Ink-stamped 52 on the flap.

Condition: Good used issue. Canvas strong throughout, grommets and cord sound, all buckles present. Field soiling on the back panel. SUPPLIED WITHOUT SUSPENDERS OR SHOULDER STRAPS.
