Blimey!If im not mistaken thats for a British WW1 small box respirator!!Dont tell me it was a car boot sale find

[douglas2496]

Hello, thats what I was hoping it might be. It was indeed a car boot sale find, costing £1. Are these rare?

Very nice find.I dont know how much they are worth but its safe to say they are like hens teeth and rocking horse doo-dah combined!

ONE pound??!!Well done.

This wasnt recently, I got it about twenty years ago. Is been in a box of unsorted items for a long time now. As a boy I went to car boot sales every weekend and got all my militaria there.

Back in the day when £1 was a lot of money!

Very nice find, and as already been said quite sought after. I can see the prices of First World War militaria increasing with the approach of the 100th anniversary.

Thanks

Danny
