Luftwaffe Gasmask with Canister

Description

Luftwaffe M38 Gasmask with Canister (Gasmaske M30 mit Blechbüchse M38), complete with carrying straps, spare glasses (Klarscheiben) and a cleaning cloth & spring. All German Army personnel were issued with a gasmask, carrying canister and accessories and were required to have it readily available at all times. Fear of the potential use of chemical warfare agents made the gasmask and canister a constant companion of the German soldier through-out the war. The M30 gasmasks were produced in a rubberized canvas with metal fittings while the M38 gasmasks were produced in molded, rubber and were also equipped with metal fittings. This is a M30 type mask, it comes with an 'FE37' type filter. The M38 canister is nicely maker marked and dated 1940. The canister is complete with a pair of Spare Glasses (Klarscheiben). The canister is named to 'Fischbach' who was stationed in Paris (L37066). The canister is complete with both matching carrying straps and comes with a cleaning cloth & retaining spring. Nice original complete gasmask set in good used condition!
