Hi.
Unusual green canvas bag. They are usually made from beige and more loose weave canvas.Bag is dated 1938 or 1939. I have not made it wet to see it.Leather strap is replaced. Original straps are sometimes quite thin and brittle so it could be a war time replacement but most likely post war. Bag contains a some sort of crayon in a wooden case. I do not know what for it is but it belongs there and they are usually missing.Bottom of the bag has the metal spring-like wire to prevent ...the inhaling hole of the filter to lay against the canvas. Buttons on the side pockets are pre WWII and have their original stitching.Mask is a really rare M1931 model nicknamed "rhino". Rubber of the mask is super soft. No cracks whatsoever. Mask has hammer and sickle manufacturer marked, Moscow logo and is dated 1933 on the exhaling flap. You can see it on the picture. Size is 58 ink stamped next to the makers logo.The hose is postwar though. You can see by the color of the metal part. But the design is basically same like the pre war ones. Rubber is soft as well.Filter is made in 1935 (stamp on the bottom) and inspected in 1937 (stamp on the upper side). A rare set.If you have questions, please ask.All my items are original and I ship them tracked.I have more scarce WWII and WWI items for sale.
RegardsK.
