Gasmaskendose ago1941

Hi guys,

I just picked up this nice original gasmaskendose. I have a few questions about it.

1. What is the maker 'ago'?

2. What does the 'D' stamped on the bottom on the can indicate?

3. It's named to a 'Gretl', which is obviously a female name. Were these types of cans issued to women?

Thanks!

Hello. The letter D if i recall means that the can is waterproof. Hope i am right..Cant help you on the other questions..sorry.

As for being issued to females, they would have been carried by flak helferin and nurses etc!....

The maker ago is E. Luft, Eisen u. Metallwarenfabr., Tetschen a/Elbe and D stamp is waterproof as already stated

[Danmark]

The D stamp is waterproof as already stated

And only if the rubber seal in the lid is present ( most are not as they perished and fell out )
