BEOBACHTERABZ.”, the interior with a white rayon lid liner and intact hinge cover and with a card stock bed, closing with a functional magnetic metal sliding lock, unmarked, measuring 90 mm (w) x 90 mm (l) x 40 mm (h), moderate material fatigue and soiling is evident to the exterior and interior liners, respectively, and a the case’s medal bed is likely missing, an unofficial/non-regulation example in very fine condition.
