Re: M30 Gas Mask
Hello,
Yes that's a M30 Gasmask.
The painted number on the snout means that this Gasmask was the 210th issued within the unit it belonged to.
Finding a canister and filter shouldn't be too hard...good luck...
Thanks

Re: M30 Gas Mask
Thanks for the confirmation on the M30 and the additional info regarding the snout numbering. Now it's off to find correct filters and can, should be easly enough to do. In my digging I did learn that the M30 was used throughout WWII but I curious as to when they were first issued and when they ceased, I can't seem to find those details any place.

Hello Russ,
The M30 Gasmask was issued in the Reichswehr around 1931/32. I have the weakness to believe that it was used in conjonction with the M38 and some Beute Gasmasken until the end of the war. Gas warfare is a tough matter ruled by hundreds and hundreds of official texts, i didn't find all of them yet....
Thanks
