    Its an anti-gas wallet, issued to soldiers to store personnel documents etc - hard to find in good condition like this, are there any markings on the flap? they were treated with linseed oil which over the years goes sticky and thats what makes them hard to open (same with the anti-gas capes). From memory the early version had the studs but later ones omitted them
