Came across this case, not a stamp on it inside or out, unlined, talon zip. Could this be USGI or otherwise? Thanks, Don

It sure looks US GI. The markings could have faded off.

Need more detailed pics, particularly the zipper and leather.

Need more detailed pics, particularly the zipper and leather.. Here's the leather and zip. There are just no faded or otherwise stencil/stamps inside or out:

Looks original. Many had aluminum zippers, but some had brass. Leather looks right.

Thank you gentlemen. Any speculation on why a USGI case has no stencil/markings inside or out? Cheers, Don

Probably washed out. Strong detergent can remove those inks. I've seen it done on mag pouches.
