The filter comes with the carryin cloth case. Looking inside the case it reveals a series of crisscrossed
strings which are added as a means to reinforce the bag. A true testimony of the type of engineering
employed by the Germans.
The filter has a series of markings and paper tags attached to it. The date 3.12.42 has been stamped on the
side with black ink. This indicates a year of manufacturing of 1942.
A paper tag attached to the side reads "Auergesellschaft aktiengesellschaft Berlin N 65". A paper tag is also
attached to the bottom of the filter.
