Gasmask 'Maskenspanner'

Description

Wehrmacht Gasmask Mask Spanner (Maskenspanner). 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. When the soldier was back in garisson, the mask was not kept in the canister, it was placed on a mask spanner in order to prevent it from being deformed. The aluminum mask spanner is nicely maker marked with the logo of the 'Auer' company. Nice original example in very good condition!
