Aluminum case exhibits very light white oxidation near the steel fittings, and the rear steel hinge assembly has 10-15% of freckling. Leather handle is undamaged and case closure fittings are functional. Interior horsehair padding presents no wear from a firearm having been in the case. Standard stenciled nomenclature in black is on lid, and the list of contents is also stenciled in black on the left rear inside panel. An unique opportunity to own a rare accessory to the M30 Drilling aircrew survival kit which is often missing in collections. CONDITION: Unissued and overall mint.
