Re: Got gas, need mask ?
Yes, very German M30 looking but the snout is different to what I have come across. Whatever it is, it is a rare variant with the side port for a microphone attachment so I wouldn't be binning it just yet. Spray some odor remover on it or leave it outside in the sun for a few days to kill any smells. I think you may have a rare variant there.

Re: Got gas, need mask ?
Actually on second glance, there seems to be no 'exhale vent' ( you breathe in through the filter but out through a vent ) This may be the vent with a 2 way valve............ looks the same as the mic port on German masks and that threw me.

Re: Got gas, need mask ?
Thank-you Dan, much appreciated. It is one of those things that seems to want to stick around, hence the thread. Just difficult to put into a collect when the origin is not clear. The website that was on my post is very interesting wrt gas masks, didn't realise how much variation there is !
PS - Your profile pic and the tag line are awesome !

Aha, I think we are getting closer to the origin of this mask. Thank-you Meyle

Re: Got gas, need mask ?
The removable piece on the left hand side (if you were wearing it) is the exhale valve, not the mic port. Its a small piece of glass which is held shut by a spring, on exhaling the spring is depressed which creates an opening for the exhaled air to escape. Some German masks, had an almost identical type of exhale valve. It does have a lot of parts very similar to those on German masks, however I would say that its Swedish based on the markings. Certainly an interesting piece that shouldn't be thrown in the bin!
Thanks
Danny
