NAMED & Personalized map case

---

The interior dedication is really what sets this RBNr marked map case apart. Written in ink on the underside of the cover flap. OFW (Oberfeldwebel) Karl  Krämer. Infantry regiment 437 of 1st battalion, 4th machine-gun company and states which locations the war has brought him to. The list starts with Luxembourg, Holland, France (Frankenreich), the Balkans, Russia, and ends with England, where he is a prisoner of war. You can see he wrote Soldat/Soldier 1939-1946 

A wartime Normandy camo mess kit. WAL34 (Westfalische Aluminium Industrie( marked and heavily worn.  

Has a "Krämer" name tag sewn onto the strap and is also painted on the underside of the canister. 

This came from a Vet's son out of Florida. Upon surrendering, the German officer presented this pistol and stated that he had never even fired it during the war. This pistol is an absolute gem and the firing pin is flawless. While I myself have never fired it, I did use modern ammo for photographic purposes. 

A gorgeous pair of brown officer's boots. I am unaware if these are branch specific and at certain times they almost look dark red in appearance, similar to some party and HJ leader styles. 

This piece was actually a gift from my Grandfather many years ago and of course it will remain with me always. 

A late-war manufactured piece and the last issue of bandoliers which were made using scrap pieces of material.  On many of these the neck strap is made from the late M44 breadbag type fabric. Rbnr. 0/0850/0189 stamped which is for Wersa Lederwarenfabrik Hubert Werner KG.  

 I love this salty combat pair. Mid war Swarovski produced field glasses with internal scale and clear optics.
