Description

WH (Heer) Gas Mask with Canister (Gasmaske M30 mit Blechbüchse M38) complete with incomplete carrying straps and a pair of spare glasses (Klarscheiben). 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, complete with larger 'Fe37' type gasmask filter. The M38 type canister is complete with spare glasses (Klarscheiben) inside the lid. The canister is complete with partly damaged carrying straps as found. The canister is maker marked by 'Eschebach' and dated 1939, inside the lid is a name tag from 'Obergefreiter Seidler' who was a member within the 'Pz.Jäg.Ers.Abt.13' (Panzerjäger-Ersatz-Abteilung 13). The canister is showing a nice late war ordnance tan camouflage overpaint and is in overall very good condition, see photos. Nice original gasmask with hard to find original camouflaged canister!
