I have in project to bought a Medical Officer's Instrument case, Navy stamped, who look like same a sister to ww2 Army Medical Officer's Instrument case.

But I have some doubts on it, because I don't find any informations about it in my ref books and on internet.

So if someone can help me to ID it, or give to some informations, I don't says no

Hi Thierry

 

MD USN POCKET CASES

 

Here are a few from my collection

 

 

 

The stamping on the one you show appears to be up side down

Hi Martyn!

Nice collection

And It's a strange detail :think: Maybe a manufacturing error I think, because the 2 markings appears up side down.

 

And can you tell me more about this pocket ? instrument include inside (has you can see on pics, isn't original instruments. I think they are actual), terms of use....

 

Thanks

The "MD" stamped on the case means "Medical Department". These cases are still to be found in use. We had them in first aid kits and gun bags around the ships I was on.

I have a similar kit, same maker, stamped the same way. Instruments all marked M.D. USN
