Re: My first gas mask/canister
"if you didn't mind breathing through an 82 year old filter."
that may contain asbestos.

Re: My first gas mask/canister
No kidding! Definitely not on my to-do list. I got enough exposure to asbestos on board ship back in the early '70's.

Re: My first gas mask/canister
Thanks, Eric. I know I have seen them available, so wasn't too concerned that they weren't in there. I intend to put it on a head, and put a helmet on top of it, if it displays like that OK.

To true Roger.
Treat most pre 1980's military/civil emergency mask filters as containing Asbestos and not wear them.It was widely used by most nations.
A very nice set in top condition.
Well done mate.

Re: My first gas mask/canister
OOoops. How about 72 years. My mind was on sensory overload yesterday evening after spending a day of browsing hundreds of tables loaded with military.

Re: My first gas mask/canister
Hello,
Sorry to say, the canister, Gasmask itself and filter are german WWII, but carrying straps on the canister are not. They're german but postwar, used on Bundeswehr canisters. The web is different and the straps are slighlty thicker. Sorry again for this bad news.
Thanks

Re: My first gas mask/canister
Thank you for that bit of information. That is too typical, I think, to have postwar straps on these things. Still and yet, it makes a nice display, and the average observer will not know these things. I, however, will know, and appreciate you letting me know. If I'm ever fortunate enough to find one with the original straps perhaps I will be able to tell the difference as well.
