    There not really expensive items, Civilian ones, I'm not sure they have been reproduced.

    I believe not.
    As CBH has said, they are too cheap and numerous to have been produced. There's also never really been a huge demand for them, although you'd think Home Front reenactors would find them extraordinarily useful.
    If getting a repro gas mask is because of the asbestos content in originals, I believe you can have the filters professionally emptied and sterilised to facilitate safe wearing. Although I imagine that would be a rather expensive process.
    Still, a far more attractive route than contracting mesothelioma!
