WH (Heer) M35 Map Case with Contents

WH (Heer) M35 Map/Dispatch Case (Meldekartentasche M35). Map/dispatch cases were issued on a limited basis to specifically designated personnel such as unit commanders, messengers, and observers. The M35 map/dispatch case was based on the Weimar era Reichsheer pattern map/dispatch case with minor variations. The M35 map/dispatch cases were issued with assorted map reading tools, instruments and accessories. The natural tan leather interior of the case has two compartments with a central leather separating panel. The brown leather map case has a handwritten name and unitmarking inside the flap, named to 'Uffz. Diekmann' from the 'Stabskompanie G.R.506' (Grenadier-Regiment 506). The map case comes together with its original contents as found together including 2 hand-drawn maps which are unit marked to the 'Grenadier-Regiment 506' as well, one small leather map-case, a wooden ruler, some pencils, a compass in used condition and some other small items, see photos for details. All in used condition, some items slightly damaged. Nice set for a fair price!
