First some questions, is it really painted green? The basic measure is a late Model 41, Herter's basic measure. They work ok.
If it's green, is there any markings on the drum? That will give a better idea of it's age. All Herter's measures were brown, All Krupp, Luger and Ruhr American measures were green. If there are no markings on the drum then it's a late Ruhr American. From around 1975.
Besides the handle, what is in the bag.

Hi Pressman- Drum is unmarked. On the base (mount) is a 40-B. In the bag is the handle, bolts, allen wrench and various powder ends. 4 in total. Looks to never have been used. the frame is green, down to the overspray on the paper protecting the threads on the base mount. Thank you for the insight!
That's a good find. I have never fond one NIB. Your Lucky day.
Careful when you slip the drum out the side (if you tear it apart) there may be two nylon tensioners that are under spring tension. They (and the springs) really fly if you're not prepared.
