Here is an item I I have had for a while and I was hoping to find out more about it.

pouch

Is there any number or designation on the back of the disk?

Is there any number or designation on the back of the disk?

There are no markings on the back I am attaching a photo of it as well as close ups of the front of the disc. Any help appreciated.

Robert, I think I have found it. Your item is a NVA Kreisrechenscheibe (Circular Calculating Disk). I talked to a former NVA staff officer. It was used by fire direction and surveying sections of the NVA Artillery. Here's the same disk pictured in an Arty manual.
