Vintage 1959 Swiss Army Leather Map Bag

Vintage 1959 Swiss army leather map bag

This vintage leather map bag was issued by the Swiss Army in 1959 and was originally designed to carry and protect military maps and documents. Made from sturdy saddle leather, it was built with durability in mind and intended to withstand years of practical use in the field.

The front is stamped with the maker’s name and place of manufacture: “Numa Weber, St Aubin – 59”, indicating that it was made in St Aubin, Switzerland, in 1959.

With its compact size and timeless military design, the bag also works beautifully as a small everyday handbag. Its simple, functional appearance makes it a stylish accessory for daily use while retaining all the character of an authentic military piece.

After almost 70 years, the bag remains in used vintage condition and shows various authentic signs of age and use. The leather has developed a rich natural patina over the decades, giving the bag plenty of character and charm.

The leather has been carefully cleaned and treated with leather conditioner to help preserve it. Despite its age and previous use, the sturdy construction has stood the test of time and the bag remains ready for many more years of use.
