WW2 K.W. 27 - Map Kit Collection with additional documents - RARE:
$499.99

Up for sale is an incredible collection of WWII documents, mapping tools, map pouch, and wooden map case. My father-in-law brought this back after the war, and the collection was still in the shipping truck until recently. This collection consists of 6 separate tools for use with artillery maps. These tools are in great condition and includes the white rotating plotting guide with the center pin still intact. Also the fine piece of thread attached to the large mapping protractor is still in original condition. An amazing feature of the tools is that each is etched with the name Stachow which must have been the name of the solider this kit belonged to. (See third picture). In addition the collection contains the K.W. 27 map pouch with the initials cme. This pouch is not canvas like most you see, this is pouch was make of some type of material possibly leather or a leather substitute at the time. The pouch does have condition issues (please see pictures) because this materiel obviously has become brittle over time and the pouch flap has broken off. What makes this sale unique are the 12 documents that are from the artillery unit. Please look at the photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions you might have or request additional pictures.
If you look carefully you can see that these documents are from the 12th regiment, Battery 1. One document is dated 4-12-1944. Another document is dated January 3, 1945. Each of these documents contains writings and drawing in pencil and ink, some which look like hand drawn maps. These documents are in good shape for their age but are fragile, and the pencil writing and drawings on some documents is faded. I do not read german so maybe someone can tell me what much of the writing says. There is also blank and grid tracing paper which must have been used to overlay maps and plot artillery trajectories. There is also a Military notebook that has pages that would have been used for a variety of purposes. All of this was contained inside a wooden field map case. It has plastic holding strips which must have been used to hold any maps or documents in place, and there is still a pencil in the pencil holder on the lower left side of the wooden case. This is an incredible collection and piece of history that might even be museum worthy. Again, please ask any questions you would like as I have tried very hard to description a large collection of items. P.S. I will refund any excess shipping charges over and above the actual hipping and insurance cost to your location.
