Re: GM54 Bundeswehr and cannister!!!!!
Jake.....first version Gasmask and tin (M54) used from 1955 to 1959, virtually the same as the wartime can (M38) and mask, except the 1956 version has a cloth cover, this cloth wrapping/cover was supposed to reduce noise level when being carried, The tin is slightly longer than its wartime brother, and was carried in exactly the same manner.....having both long strap that across the chest and a small bottom strap that affixed to the waist belt (as wartime wear) , it seems you have both straps, the smaller appears to be wrapped around the long one ! take it off, and attach to the bottom eye on the can. As for the mask it is the correct type carried again a virtual copy of the wartime mask....the filter does not look like the filter normally seen on these masks, Danish ? The markings I am unsure of. See mine here...in post #8 of this thread https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/bunde...nadier-231402/
Prost ! Steve.
