My officers map case collection

[Tim49980]

Hi all

Thought I would share my map case collection so far. (Not sure if this quite the right section for field items mods?)
Hope to add to it as I put together my oberleutnant uniform.

What I have so far



My list of items I'm still looking for:
Deckungswinkelmesser
Kurvenmesser
Kartenwinkelmesser
Kilometermesser
Zielgiverttafel
Planzeiger
Wooden rule
Eraser
Fur der Wehrmacht pencils
Grease pencils
Pencil sharpener
Protractor
Map sleeve

When I was 12 years old living in Mannheim/Germany, I found an identical Brown Map Case hanging on a nail in an old wooden shed...Great Memories, thanks for showing...
cheers, Glenn

Thanks all

All the kurvenmesser's I see have 'Germany' on them, always thought this meant they are post war items. Is yours marked at all?

Jealous of your 1941 planzeiger

I will check!

On the front you have the inscription "D.R.G.M." (registered trade mark abbreviation for the IIIrd Reich)

Got a map sleeve to go into the collection.

Hello,
Map cases were not for Officers only....
The word "Germany" appears on a lot of items produced between both world wars.
The Brown map case seen here is the M35 type
the black is the M37 type
Thanks

I can add one for the Luftwaffe, with Flak unit stamps....
