Vintage Leather Map Case, probably 1940s

Although resembling a rather oversize wartime identity label holder, this leather case, with a large clear celluloid covered open panel, a flap at the back with a fastening button and a long shoulder strap with loop attachments seems to have been intended as a map holder. Similar examples can be found dating back to the First World War and many have a grid printed onto the celluloid. This particular piece probably dates to the Second World War and is most likely Russian or German. It remains in excellent condition with the fine quality stitching and celluloid panel intact and the strap with minimal wear, making it a desirable acquisition for a collectors of militaria from that era.
Size: Pouch 22 x 15 cm, strap 120 cm
Weight: 95 grams
Date: 1940s
Condition: Excellent condition commensurate with age
Estimate: £30 – 40
