WW2 German Combat Gas Mask

[cat66]

Hello
I just picked up this gas mask what do you think??

[Danmark]

I think someone has been creative! A good mask and kanister "dressed up" with fake zyklon poison label and SS logo painted on.
There is no special filter designed to work with a poison gas that can enter skin pores and ears etc... only a full suit is protection.
Did the seller claim it came from Majdanek camp???

I really hope you didn't pay anything near the price this exact mask was on ebay for as has already been said, this is a totally post war made up item.
