NAVAL GAS MASK'S CASE
This is the original case where the naval masks were stored. Inside the case there's some straps to prevent the filter from moving. Also, It had the instructions written on a paper glued inside the box.
In the case is writted : ''93式4号防毒面'' which means: ''Type93 No.4 Gas Mask'':
This other is my second navy case. It is a different model of the previous case. It is more width and with some little differences:
I used it to complete the Type 97 black rubber gas mask:
