will wait for people in the know about gas masks to respond, however based on what I've been told, if it does contain asbestos, it should be fine as long as it is not aggitated so that loose particles begin to be come airborne. If left static in a display it should be fine.
Just don't wear it!

I agree with MAP, as long as you don't wear it or disturb the inside of the filter it should be fine. If you are really concerned, keep it stored, double bagged.

I seem to remember Ade saying that filling the filter with a type of epoxy resin or similar such substance was a way of sealing in any nasty, cancer-causing-agonising-death particles or fibres.

I have poured PVA glue into my filters, it seems to seal them up pretty well.

Check it out, a lot of old gas masks do indeed contain asbestos!....

I think its odds on that this type of mask will contain asbestos. I have one the same and you can easily plug the holes in the filter with plastic padding or epoxy resin, its not a big problem (in fact I didnt use glue on this type due to the small holes being so easy to plug). Also welcome to the forum, and well done on your purchase.
