What do you think about that idea? I kinda want them displayed out rather than being inside the cannister. Or maybe plastic heads. Will something happen to them?

Hi , would not bother as the elastic/rubber will be stretched over time, keep them in their cannisters. Also I would not be to keen on putting a vintage gas mask on my mug anymore since I learnt they have asbestos in the filters!! Leon.
Styrofoam is a big no-no when it comes to displaying either gas masks or leather flying helmets as it gives off a gas and other vapours that can chemically damage them.......Apparently.
Properly Displaying Gas Masks?
Glass display heads are recommended, although they are of course more expensive.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Defo avoid polystyrene...'made that mistake myself with tank crew lids and masks...they LOOK great....but they don't come off too well (if at all) and they're stretched
Tell me about , I was exactly the same, helmet ,gas mask ,battledress and "muck bombs and fireworks being lobbed at each other! Those were the days when your parents let you have fun instead of saying "my poor little puddings been hurt by a nasty stone thrown by your son, I'm gonna sue ya!!" Leon.
