British Bergen open, resting on ground

£4.00

The British bergen was issued from 1942 to members of specialist units who needed the extra carrying capacity such as mountain troops, SAS, LRDG, Glider troops and Commando's. the rucksack has many long straps which were often rolled, tied or stuffed into pockets to keep them out of the way.

You will be purchasing a scale model of a real item. The model may require removing of supports and some sanding and filling. We would recommend washing in some warm soapy water or Isopropyl Alcohol before painting to remove any remaining residues. Hanging Straps are indicative of how the packs were hung but the straps may not be suitable for your requirements and are fragile so would be best replaced with tape straps.

Not suitable for children under the age of 14
