Gasmaske M38 --- feldpost# 01468

[slados28]

Got this one today, matching M38 set w. blue painted parts. Not sure how I figure the date for the can but it's marked 44 on the latch, so guessing 1944 if that's the indicator. Mask appears to be marked 43 inside so guessing latter half of 1943 production taking that and the blue painted parts into account. Mask maker appears to be BWZ
Numbers matching on both mask and can but, as I have been told, they are not feldpost markings but rather personal unit numbers

It doesn't have all of its straps but I'll manage for now... nice and untouched with that good old musty smell. Mask strap appears to have a period repair but other than that it appears pretty much intact. Took a while but this is actually my first one and I'm happy with it, will display nicely. Sellers photos for now, will try to have a few more taken tomorrow.

Hello! the 01468 is not the FP, but the number of the mask in the unity.

Ahhh--- well, another thing learned. Perhaps I should have waited for one with the label inside or something then... well, it will do for now.
