Description: | The case is roughly rectangular but has a curved body. It closes with a flap which is secured by a short strap fastening on the front of the case. The case is fitted with a longer strap and might be suspended from the shoulder. When the flap is unfastened and pulled back the interior is hidden by two under-flaps, extensions of the gussets, which fold over to cover the opening. The item does not have a lining. It exhibits skilled skiving and neatly closed seams. It has at least two rings attached to it, for the attachment of other things, and is braced in two places by small metal plates. It has a sturdy construction. This item is associated with the British Army and a machine gun team. It is thought to date from the first decade of the Twentieth century.
