Where to find the smaller Swiss Salt and Pepper rucksack?

Hi Brian,
If you look at the right column on the ebay article page, hit the button: "Frage stellen" . Translated: "Ask a question" or at the US ebay: "ask sller a question" . Just hit the button, ask your question, then select "alegemeine frage" or "general question about this object".
Hope this helps. I noticed the aution is closing in a few hours though...

Dear Brian. Thank you for your interes but I can´t tell you exact details because the item is already packed for sending. I know that the strap cant´t be used for the smaller one . The dimension is similar in hight but much smaller. Sorry that I don´t have more information. Greetings Jakob


Unfortunately you would also have to find a strap as well haha. Not sure what he means when he says that the dimensions are similar in height, but much smaller? Does he mean they have a similar ratio of h x w x l?

Really don't know... possibly all features of the rucksack are similar except for sizing?

Man, just buy it!

In my mind, a vintage rucksack conjures a certain spirit of adventure. Why not follow the adventurous spirit and quit worrying about straps and whatnot?

Haha except when you can't carry it around. Then there isn't much adventuring to be done.
Andy,
the bag i'm looking for is 14 h x 15 w x 9 d. So that would be the larger of the two. Thanks for your time though! I don't want to keep bothering you. If you happen on one, by all means please share, I'll see if I can find it. If i do I shall post it here!

Thanks mate. I already asked some people in Germany. It seems that most of the rucksacks are the larger ones...
Will keep my eyes open .
Cheers,
Andy

Here a small review about the backpack he is talking about and his bigger or more solid and heavier "brother".

Right now you can find them "still" on Ebay but im pretty sure that will change.
