new gask mask and canister - opinions please

[Gunny Hartmann]

I think you are correct Gunny I have been comparing it to images of the Reichswehr/Wehrmacht model cases from (1930-1935 ) and this particular can has some oddities the tabs for attaching the carry straps through should be rounded not flat, there as well should be horizontal beading above and below the vertical lines in the canister there should be a tab/eye on the middle of the can the upper closing latch does not look correct either for the model that was produced in 1935 I may be off base here but IMO it is not a model that was produced for the Wehrmacht and or Reichswehr.

It's a bit of a strange one!...
