Vintage SADF Rucksack Grootsak Pattern 70 1970's

Title: Vintage SADF Rucksack Grootsak Pattern 70 1970's.
Manufactured By: Manufactured for the SADF, 1970's.
Info: The 1970 pattern webbing was heavily influenced by the British 1958 pattern, certain features such as the kidney pouches clearly originating in that set, but other features were based on experience. The rucksack was not attached to the rest of the webbing, but had its own integral shoulder straps so could be worn on its own if desired. There are also numerous ammunition pouches dotted all over the webbing to allow extra R1 magazines to be carried for sustained periods in the bush. It was also recognised early on that soldiers adapted their webbing based on operations and personal preference, so the design allows for extra bits to be clipped on and off with ease.
