Re: 1939 Marked Gas Mask & Canister Named and Minty Condition
Hello,
It looks like a very nice Gasmask set....
IMO The mask GM30 itself is quite early (S-Maske?)....what's the date of production stamped inside the Gasmask ?
The inked stamped FE37 is very cool and IMO also quite early...
Tom : i have seen this type of markings before, it is legit...IMO a controller stamp....
Mike : Concerning a value, a complete Gasmask set in good condition, with original carrying straps can be found for 100/150 euros depending mainly on the condition. This kind of set in not rare but this item is so characteristic of the WWII german soldier, that there should be at least one example in any collection, even if this collection is not dedicated to TR items...
Thanks

Re: 1939 Marked Gas Mask & Canister Named and Minty Condition
Hi Mr. Philip,
Thanks so much! Yes, the date to the inside of the gasmask is: 11 1937. Other markings: Bauer or Buer, is this the maker? Also the older national eagle and WaA 325 maybe, need to gt my glasses out for these numbers. Looks also like a serial number and some other 4 numbers, like inspection maybe?
Thanks also Tom. By the way, would either of you know how to pronounce the name on the item?
Cheers,
Mike

Indeed, nice early mask with the reinforcement on the snout.
On the side of the snout you can also see the size of the mask... there probably is a mark like A1B, or A2B or A3B
The 1, 2 or 3 are the size while AB stands for Auer Berlin
As for the pronounciation:
Wieb = like in the english word "we", but then a little more like "ve" and with a "b" at the end (pronounced like a "p")
ke = pronounced like "cut" but without the t

Again, thanks Tom. Indeed, there is an A2B on the side of the snout and a 2 marked several times inside the gasmask.
Cheers,
MIke
