joetauchretter Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hello, I got two of these from a vet many years ago . They are leather tubes with a belt loop and leather closing cap that slides up and down on thin leather strap . There is a small leather strap on the cap that fits over a steel stud on the leather tube . I was told this was a map case , I doubt it is a map case myself . I was also told it could be a fife case for a musician ? The tubes are approx. 16 inches long . Both tubes are un-issued condition . Any ideas what the real purpose for them could be ? They were made in Munich by a company called Wersa in 1941 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 That sounds right. You'd have a devil of a time getting a map OUT of a case that thin. My guess was going to be some type of 'instrument' but fife, which I suppose IS an instrument, makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
