    Contents of a Gas Bag

    Hey, Genosse Ian here. I've been gone a whiule, but while I was gone I found a strichtarn gas-mask bag for $5 at a surplus store. the guy gave me all the stuff in it as well, which consisted of a large green plastic tarp with small black plastic clasps, and a pair of thin, white cotton golves. I don't know much of the contents in NVA gas mask bags, but what is normally in those bags when issued?

    Also, the bag has the later issue UTV green web belt loops, which make it late 80s or 1990 issue. but, the inside (rubberized) has only one maker mark that I can find inside the main flap the reads '86'. Being that there is no 'NVA' or quarter and letter identification typical of most NVA items, is this mark sufficient to date this bag around 1986? Not sure if factory codes on gas mask bags differ or not. Anyway, and response would be appreciated. Pix as well.

    -All the best, Ian

      At first, there is only a UTV Version of the Raindrop Bag.
      The Green Tarp is the "Schutzumhang 67", the white gloves are the inserts for the rubber Gloves, I think they're missing. Otherwise you'll need the Entgiftungspäckchen, a grey plastic Box with the Decon Kit, The Mask with Hose and Filter, a Spare kit of inner Lenses (in the small pocket on top of the inner compartment divider). I think, some day in the nearer future I'm able to find all these things in my storage.

        After another look, I realized the markings within the bag say 'NVA IV/86' I'm assuming this is just another way of marking the year 1986, instead of the letter code. I'm not 100% sure it says '86', but it does say 80-something. The number after the 8 is faded quite alot.
