KEY FEATURES
This original Austrian Army leather map case is genuine military surplus designed for field map carrying.
Historical Design & Construction
Issued to post-war Austrian armed forces, this field pouch closely follows classic mid-century European military designs. Made from 100% heavy-duty leather, the case features thick exterior leather with a soft, contrasting light leather interior lining. Historical production stamps, such as 'HB 1960', are often stamped inside the main flap.
Internal Layout & Organisation
The main compartment comfortably holds A5 notebooks, maps, and field documents. On the front panel, you will find seven leather pen loops alongside a tall vertical sleeve suited for a ruler or utility knife. The top flap covers the front panel entirely and secures tightly with a metal tuck-lock buckle on a perforated leather strap.
Field Attachment & Modern Use
On the rear, two heavy leather loops with metal pin buckles allow the pouch to attach securely to equipment belts. These genuine surplus cases are available in black or brown leather, showing minor surface wear from issue. Their sturdy construction makes them ideal for bushcraft, field sketching, or everyday gear carry.
