WW 2 Soldier's Personal Identification Capsule, circa late 1930s - 1941 manufacture.
In black Bakelite, about 2" long.
In excellent condition, completely intact and sound. There are a few tiny scratches here and there, but the exterior is free of significant wear or discoloration. The threads of the screw-on top are perfect.
A Soviet equivalent of a dog tag, these were designed to carry a paper scroll with the soldier's name and brief family information. In reality, most soldiers kept their capsule empty due to a prevalent superstition that carrying a paper scroll would entail certain death.
