This thing is really unique and has a lot of character. Im not sure exactly when it was made but you can tell it has been through many adventures the bottom pocket zipper is different to the top and has been sewn on by hand to keep it going the leather is in good condition and recently oiled. This bag it top quality and just by feeling it you can tell it is meant for the outdoors. Similar to the vintage 1970’s 1980’s teardrop north face hiking backpacks.
