Chris Boonzaier Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 This belonged to a bavarian Leib Regt Gold Bravery medal winner... but I am not sure what nation it is from. Probably a captured piece.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Here is a similar one that seems to have been captured by an Austrian? I am assuming maybe something Serbian, Bulgarian, Romanian? http://www.ebay.de/itm/232499453976?clk_rvr_id=1348688550363&rmvSB=true Picked up where both the austrians and Leib regt served....

Farkas Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi Chris i spent ages looking through google images last night. Nothing quite the same is there. I couldn't find a pic of an Austro Hungarian though. Ww2 German shared some features..... but the closest match I saw was Imperial Russian.... just a thought... tony {{{ PS trying to tempt Bayern into finding us a picture please!}}} On 30/10/2017 at 00:54, Bayern said: Gentlemen : To me is a Austro Hungarian mapcase of the type used with the pre Pike grey ,field uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 I have been looking as well, the basic set up with the front pouch seems conman to the Austrian ones, and I have seen 2 dealers with them listed as such... but of course, the Romanian, Bulgarian etc ones could have been similar. I don't find a Russian equivalent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi Chris we'll find the elusive little f' what does yours look like from the side please? just seen this one..... ------/--//------- On yours its the 'locking' mechanism I find unusual. The 'key' type fastener is not common hence my previous Russian suggestion. I can't find the image of that now - of course! Any chance of a close up of the fastener please? cheers tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi, thanks, that confirms the style. I think mine is unfortunately not an issue version as pictured, or maybe just a bit older, but for me the origin of the piece makes it a great piece for me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Chris : Your mapcase is probably as i said , of a older type ,used by Austro Hungarian officers and cadet officers between 1880 and 1909 .made of black leather . but after the replacement by the tan leather type , your model continued in use .

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 I could go with that description, it has more of what I consider to be a turn of the century kind of construction as opposed to the more industrial construction I associate with the outbreak of the war.
