Murphy92 Posted June 6, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 6, 2021 Hi from France My latest find (directly from Normandy) ... could anyone help me to confirm it's a case navigation type A4 ? Nota : it's 1943 dated inside Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmar836 Posted June 7, 2021 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2021 Dunno. Such descriptions as "directly from Normandy" are typically a negative connotation. I have an A-4 or two but I have never seen a canvas one. Can you show us the other markings, dates, etc,? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy92 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted June 7, 2021 Hi Dave We still find things in Normandy and original pieces. Not everything is false. Here, when I say "directly frome Normandy" it’s because I found it last Saturday at a militaria show organized at CARENTAN (Normandy). I should have made that clear from the beginning. I’m not going to invent a beautiful story. I do not know any more about its exact origin. As for the complementary photos, I will post them as soon as possible.

dmar836 Posted June 7, 2021 Share #5 Posted June 7, 2021 Yeah, love the cap. Covid cancelled our 2020 trip to Normandy. We were really looking forward to enjoying the area. Was not planning on hunting for militaria while there. A-4 cases were made post war as well and the nomenclature is a bit different. Is there more info than a date inside? Best of luck identifying your case. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmar836 Posted June 7, 2021 Share #7 Posted June 7, 2021 I wonder if IR settings on a digital camera would help. I know someone on this forum had mastered that and it really revealed faded ink. I have never seen one like this. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
