This Item
Leather & Structural State: The rich brown leather is in beautiful, supple, and very clean condition. It shows normal, honest signs of storage and light field use but is completely free of deep cracks, dry rot, tears, or open seam-stretching. Hardware & Metalwork: The original aluminum front clip and closure stud are fully intact and functional. The aluminum retains a bright, uncleaned natural patina with minimal surface wear. The embossed factory stamp "D.R.K. Sanitätslager Babelsberg 33" is exceptionally sharp, deep, and 100% legible, making it an excellent display piece. A very attractive, complete, and undamaged example of early-to-mid-war German medical gear. The stitching remains tight throughout, and the interior is well-preserved.
