Hi Dave, you have the GM54 there, but I do not recognie the bag at all.

You can compare it to the wartime GM30 respirator here:

No idea on values, sorry.

Cheers, Ade.

minnie...Ade is quite correct M54 replaced by the M65 in 1965 ! not in correct bag/tin (no idea what the bag is, but it is not BW).....should be in one of these tins....
Prost ! Steve.

Strangely enough, neither of my tins came with a mask !

minnie...not much I am afraid...here in the U.K. although not common, they raise around £10 ! double that with a tin....
Prost ! Steve.
