Could someone pls tell me the era of this mapcase? The compass looks pre GPW?

Norm,

That is an interesting case you got there, especially with the toys still in it; it is also an uncommon pattern, maybe more specifically for artillerists.

I believe that it was made in occupied Germany (leather, hardware, workmanship) in the first few years after the end of the war. Have a good look inside, there should most likely be some stamps, either in ink or dry ones.
