Original Japanese WWII Officer’s Leather Map Case with Stitched Star

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a leather Japanese WW2 map case is in very good condition, showing typical signs of wear. It is hand-stitched, and embroidered with a five-pointed star. This denotes that the owner was of officer rank within the Japanese military. From this we also know that this map case is an earlier example; the later cases were embroidered with a circle instead of a star.

The case has three compartments, a shoulder strap and cover flap. The shoulder strap is intact however it has entirely broken off of one side, however this could possibly be fixed. The leather is now a bit stiff in spots but still displays well and has kept its thick shape. Offered in very good condition this is a nice example for display.
