Issued long time ago…
Approx 40L volume…
Many little compartments… and the A-2 or L-2a
can be rolled inside… plus a laptop and others.

Good but scruffy if you are in smart cafes in Vienna or Salburg.

The bag itself can also be rolled up if not all compartments are in use or needed.
I have it since ages in this way…and its very Handy even in the Sacher in Wien

I use an original mk VII gas mask bag (like Indiana Jones). Very practical and cheap.

@busdrivermike does some really nice bags, maybe an inspiration ?

If you're a looking for a small (about have the size of a briefcase) leather sling/satchel bag.....
I'd look around for a "case, surveyor, telescope"
Unfortunately it's a little on the weighty side but it's protective of anything you plonk in it

A repro U.S. M-1938 Mapcase is very convenient and will do the trick. Not too big and plenty of room.

Available at SOF Military ( or At The Front or...)

I take a reproduction musette bag to collectible shows/sales and a military style backpack (with my old ACU nametape from my Army days) as a carry-on bag when I travel.

@B-Man2 introduced me to this one. Pretty cheap, but very well constructed and the spitting image of an original:
