Bill,
These are the two pieces I own!!
I lost the match case in college while out on a hike to a bluff overlooking a river. Almost two years later I was walking down the same path when the match case almost jumped out at me!! I recovered it and after some careful bending, it was good as new! Imagine how many college kids walked that path, but Grandpa concealed his war souvenir long enough for me to find again!!
I still have the original matchbox for it with the individual hand-dipped phosphorous matches in it!!
