I Found an Original WWI German Cavalry Gun Case (110 Years Old!)

Описание: This original WWI German cavalry gun case survived over 110 years of history. In this video, I examine every detail of this rare artifact—from the hand-stitched leather to the brass hardware that once hung from a German cavalryman's saddle during World War 1. This gun case represents a crucial piece of German military equipment from the transition period when cavalry units adapted from traditional mounted charges to the brutal realities of trench warfare. Every scratch, stitch, and marking tells the story of a soldier who carried this through one of history's most devastating conflicts.
