Original U.S. WWII Navy Atlantic Escape and Evasion Gold Barter Kit - Sealed and X-Rayed - Serial # 1516 Scandinavian Militaria typically these were ink stamped

typically these were ink stamped so faded markings are common

and had luminous paint in them to make counting up to the correct one easier in the dark

and would be read: SHOWA (current reigning emperor) Juu-San Nen (13th year of reign - 1938)
