Small Leather Pouch.
#1

Does anyone recognise this? The RAF Museum suggests that it is a commercially produced item.

A friend in Alaska who's father served in the US Army during WWII found this leather pouch in a box of his effects after he died. He was in the UK prior to D-Day.

She has sent it to me to see if I can get it identified.

 

It is 4" wide by 3 1/2" deep and very thin. It has a metal frame fitted inside on the two sides and base.

As you see it also has a tongue securing it closed.

It is embossed with the Royal Air Force Crest.
