Meldekartentasche, (Dispatch case)

[rbminis]

In preparation for an Artillery Officer impression, I recently decided to add this to my collection. It is in very good condition with all of the stitching intact. It is a later model having an RB number. It also came with a map case marked, J.H. Kofler Jr. Bad Homburg K.G. 1940

Very nice condition. Now to find a period map to go in that case.
So I take it those are slots for pens/pencils. What goes in the rectangular section on the right? Drafting compass??

Very nice example.

I have no info on the makers RB number, but they were out of Bavaria, that much I can say.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Phil!
Actually, it's for a slide rule. I have a period map of "Russland" but unfortunately it is folded too large to fit the case.

You are correct re pencils Phil. The rectangular section is usually seen containing a rubber (eraser to you guys in the US)

A very nice case. I have one almost identical but a chestnut brown colour. I'll dig tit out and post a pic.

Thanks Mark!
If you have a look in the "Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army" book, they were designed for a slide rule.
Yours will likely look similar to this other one in my collection, picked up with a Luft. Flak display in mind.

And both of them together.

Thanks Ralph, I figured Luftwaffe for my brown item. Didn't know about the slide rule though I always thought the pocket a bit big for the often seen rubber (eraser). Have you a pic of the slide rule by any chance?

I don't currently Mark, but I will see what I can find. If I have to, I'll scan the page in the book.
