These cases are what the East German officers used to carry their maps around in during the Cold War era. Unlike earlier leather versions, these later versions are made from vinyl but still very robust. Further more, they have some improvements - the main one is the fold out clear map case that provides some much needed weather resistance. It also comes equipped with a sewn-in cloth so you can wipe clean any marks or water.
The inside also has 2 compartments that are an ideal size to carry tablets or books and pen slots on the outer cover. All of this can be carried with a detachable/adjustable shoulder strap. A retro looking day bag for stationary or a piece for your East German DDR collection - get a piece of history today!
