Luftwaffe M35 Map Case with Contents
Luftwaffe M35 Map/Dispatch Case (Meldekartentasche M35). Map/dispatch cases were issued on a limited basis to specifically designated personnel such as unit commanders, messengers, and observers. The M35 map/dispatch case was based on the Weimar era Reichsheer pattern map/dispatch case with minor variations. The M35 map/dispatch cases were issued with assorted map reading tools, instruments and accessories. The natural tan leather interior of the case has two compartments with a central leather separating panel. The light-brown leather map case is faintly maker marked, it's also unit marked with 'L.d.L.N.S., St.u.W.Komp' (Luftnachrichten Schule). The map case comes together with some period looking contents as found together including a large sized 1940 dated map and a small booklet from a soldier showing a nice drawing and names of fallen comrades. Nice original map case in good used condition!
