Imperial German Pack?

#1

Is this an Imperial German of WW2 pack? It appears to have an Imperial stamp inside (see pic) and the straps are WWI dated, but it rather unusual. Not the usual tornister you encounter.

Just google for "Tornister" / "Affe" one time...

Link: https://www.google.com/search?q=tornist ... 60&bih=759

Valued in this condition just under 20,- Euro, if anything...

German flea market: 5,- Euro, this stuff is everywhere.

Yes, I have many tornisters but this one has an unusual configuration on the front, as if it were for some special purpose like communication, signals etc.I haven;t seen this before and was wondering if anyone had.Not concerned about its negligible value, just want to determine what this type of tornister was used for.
