Developed in Vienna between 1880 and 1930, the "Rittmeister portemonnaie" is called "officier"  (officer) in France and "Fledermaus" (bat) in Germany. It is a prime example of the finest Viennese manufacture of leather fashion accessories, which emerged from book binding and has always been characterised by choice materials and the most careful workmanship.
