Cases of this type are associated with state and security officials, although a specific KGB issue for this piece is not documented. A truly unused example from the Cold War period is hard to find, so it appeals to collectors of KGB and spy-era memorabilia and to anyone who wants a distinctive vintage carry piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671475290261,"sku":"v1|406999397891|0","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_8900b9a1-424f-4d4c-bf6a-637693b2bfa3.jpg?v=1791480309","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/nos-soviet-kgb-briefcase-hard-leatherette-attache-case-1970s-80s","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
