In the 1950's, a potential land war with Warsaw Pact forces was a real possibility. Being prepared to deny probable avenues of invasion, such as Germany's Fulda Gap, factored into the defensive planning of many NATO nations. This Cold War-era Italian Military Mine Measuring Tape was originally intended to be issued to mine-planting teams to ensure evenly spaced mines in the field. An interesting collectible for any military historian or fan of the metric system.
