WWII German M07/13 Tornister, NSDAP Gau Essen Marked, Maker Marked

World War Two German N.S.D.A.P. (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) M07/13 Tornister. This tornister is in excellent condition and has sustained very little wear. The leather components are in a similarly excellent condition and remain flexible and serviceable despite clear visual aging. The pony fur is in excellent condition as well and is virtually all intact and well preserved. On the back of the tornister on the top leather portion there is a manufacturer’s marking from “GEBRÜDER KLINGE DRESDEN” and above that marking there is a faded marking that appears to be either a name or unit marking. On the interior of the main cover there is a large stamping that reads “N.S.D.A.P. Gau Essen”. There is also a loose strap that is complete and ready to be attached that is also marked “N.S.D.A.P. Gau Essen”.
