DAF Binocular Case & Insignias - Opinions

[Viewfinder]

I am planning to sell this binocular case with attached DAF emblems on E-Stand. I wonder about these emblems. Are they genuine original? The case looks not typical WWII German. Not sure. Could the case have legitimate period usage? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Viewfinder,
The Binoc. case looks much more like Japanese 1950s ......though some commercial German cases POST WAR looks similiar.....

The D.A.F. emblems are original, but have been added to this case to give it potential "collector" value......they would NEVER have been worn like this by thier German owner (assuming it was German originally) A "G.I." might have added them (again assuming they were WW2)....but IMO this is an early postwar case that some wheeler-dealer added the pins to.

If you can, I'd remove them and sell them seperately (especially if they're the type with fold pins for DAF shoulder straps....hard to find) but careful not to break the pins, however!
My opinion, of course.....

Thanks very much for your advice and valuable information. I wonder if I can get them off the case without damaging them.

I have removed the DAF pins from the binocular case as you suggested. Here they are and, Oh No, it looks like someone removed the original attachments and added their own. I doubt if the very careful soldering job was original pre 1945. They sure went through a lot of work just to mount these on the probably post war case.

Here, have a look!
