J006959 (IJA) OFFICER'S LEATHER DISPATCH/MAP CASE. A typical, medium brown leather army issue dispatch case, used for maps, compass, pencils and plotting instruments. The case is 28cm in height, 20cm wide, and can expand to approximately 2cm thick if full. The forward fold-over flap has the outline of a five-pointed star stitched to its base, beneath which is sewn a leather tab with a stud hole near its end. This tab would pass through the horizontal leather loop sewn to the body of the case, with its stud hole then mating with the brass stud beneath it. Two small vertical pockets for pens or pencils are sewn to the front of the case. Reverse is complete with its original leather hanging straps and metal hook. Nice worn example that actually saw service.
