Here's a decent 100+ year old Artillery Optics Case for your consideration...
I've owned this twice... The first time, quite a while back, my research had revealed that it was most likely U.S. WW1 for the "French 75mm" pattern cannon. That was based on seeing photos of a very similar case on the inner gun shield of one of those cannons. Brown russet leather (darkened with age) and U.S. style bronze hardware seem to confirm "U.S.". No markings that I can find. Has recess for Clinometer and optics. Plenty of verdigris to easily scrub away with WD-40 but overall very solid. If it's missing anything I can't tell.
$40 plus postage (good news: it will fit in the Large Flat Rate Game Console Box). PM direct if interested. Thanks for looking!
*** SOLD
