Germany, SS. An Oak Leaf A Pattern Camouflage Suitcase, Postwar Assembly

(Koffer in Waffen-SS Tarnausführung). A unique suitcase, constructed of a sturdy wooden shell. The exterior is fully lined in original Waffen-SS Oak Leaf A pattern camouflage material, with a mottle consistent of a predominantly medium-brown base overlaid by irregular patterns of light and dark brown with softly-defined edges. Fittings and rivets constructed of aluminum and magnetic metal are distributed around the exterior to firmly anchor the camouflage liner in place and maintain the suitcase’s structural integrity. The upper side retains an intact brown leather carrying strap, while the suitcase closes with three functional sliding snap buttons and functional hinges. The interior retains a mostly-intact paper stock liner. Unmarked with the exception of a “SIPRA” logo on the snap buttons, it measures 76 cm (x) x 45 cm (l) x 21 (h). Moderate material fatigue consistent with age and light usage is visible to the exterior material and interior liner. A quintessential example of authentic wartime Waffen-SS camouflage material adapted to postwar use, the suitcase is in a better than very fine condition.
