A striking piece of 20th-century British military history. This well-travelled leather suitcase bears the emblem of the GHQ Middle East Land Forces, complete with a hand-drawn camel and shield motif. It's constructed from natural tan leather over a sturdy wooden frame, with blue linen lining and leather strap supports inside.
The outside shows its age and journey — scuffs, wear, and remnants of period luggage labels lend it a rough-edged, authentic patina. There are no modern repairs or replacements; the condition is honest and untouched. A fascinating display piece, or potentially usable with care.
