WWII German MAP CASE RBNr WWII era?

**excalibr** · 04-07-2011, 03:09 AM

I just bought this at an estate sale tonight! It came with some pictures and other papers from Germany. I only paid $40 for the entire lot, so I am not out alot if this turns out not to be WWII era, but it sure looks like it to me! The only markings I could find, other than the guys name written on the inside flap, are the letters RBNr with the following numbers: 0/0561/0163. Is this WWII era? If not, what is your best guess of the time this was used? It looks identical to alot of the map cases I have seen on the net and forum. Any idea of value? I'm not looking to sell it, just want to know if I got a good deal!

Thanks!

Bill

Thanks Ade! I was hoping it was WWII era. I had a good feeling about it. The mark reminded me of something else I have...a wooden ammo case. I listed it on the forum, but did not get any replies. It looks like an artillery shell case, but I'm not sure. It has the marking: KMR Nr. 140. Does that sound German or WWII?? I have the thread listed. I posted it a while back. If you can shed some light on that, I would greatly appreciate it! thanks again. This map case will look great on my artillery Colonels uniform that I have!
