Description

These cases are what the East German officers used to carry their maps around in during the Cold War era. Unlike earlier leather versions, these later made versions are made from vinyl but still very robust. Further more, they have some improvements - the main one is the fold out clear map case that provides some much needed weather resistance. It also comes equipped with a sewn-in cloth so you can wipe clean any marks or water.

The inside also has 2 compartments that are an ideal size to carry tablets or books and pen slots on the outer cover. All of this can be carried with a detachable/adjustable shoulder strap. A retro looking day bag for stationary or a piece for your East German DDR collection - get a piece of history today!

Great for field work

I am a geologist and I use this case for holding all my stuff (map, compass, stationery, rocks, snacks etc) out in the field.
Great size for a shoulder bag - large enough to hold most things, but not bulky or in the way while walking.
The map section can hold A4 sized paper, and the inside compartment can fit A5 notebooks.
Easy to clean too - just wipe the mud off because it's vinyl.
