    That's a message pouch. It carried three notebooks, writing materials, a folding lantern and extra candles.

              Spike,

              Nothing wrong with field wear. I prefer some evidence of use. Mint items, while nice, have less historical value, though often have the higher collector value. Mint items often never made it out of a storage warehouse and have little relation to the historical events of the war. So, don't apologize for wear.

              Kornel,

              You probably missed the one at the Bavarian Army Museum, because it probably wasn't on display and may not have ever been on display. When I went to the museum in 1978 there was little from WWI on display at all. They did have a special exhibition of their WWI holdings during that period, but it was only temporary. Of course, during these centennial years, many WWI things may come out of storage again. Here is a picture of their example along with a 1916 Probe Bavarian buckle and keeper made from Siemens-Martin steel.
