The leather is still pliable, stitching is intact, and the original internal dividers are present. There is only minor wear, including a light scrape on the front of one lid, and the pouch could benefit from a light cleaning if desired.The reverse is clearly embossed with themanufacturer's name and dated 1937, along with the highly desirableKriegsmarine acceptance mark, featuring the eagle over swastika above a capital'M'.
