Great way of displaying helmets and gas masks.
What is the gas mask under the lid marked "W" please?

Cheers ph3s I will go hunting for 1 to see how much they go for!!! Terry.

I'm sorry I was mistaken. It suppose to be m17a2 with pasgt helmet.

Don't fall into dealers tricks, there are at list 2 copies of m17, Czech m10 /m and Bulgarian something.

The prices can vary, as I read on one of forums. some M17 were demilitarised, simply cut in front of the mask(I mean why would you do that? ) But there are virgin masks, have to be

Really nicely displayed mate, they look very professional, very museum like. Well done!
