Welcome to the Forum.
Just so there is no wasted posts here.
Here are the pictures of the Canister in question.
Value it made around £100 or $132
Sellers description:
Original WW2 German gas mask container. No mask inside. This canister is in original condition, collected by my father in World War II. Has straps, including short strap
Initials inside H.A.E. dated 1940.
Great for display or re-enacting.
Cheers
Doug
Says it's sold, did you buy it? I'm no expert but I can't tell for sure if shoulder strap is original. I don't know if the paint is either. But like I said I'm no expert, I'm more about the WW1 masks. I honesty don't think it was worth quite that if it was original, but that's just my opinion and yes, welcome to the forum!
The reason it sold so expensive is that the short strap is Kriegsmarine marked... (The M under the eagle)
My guess is the buyer thought the whole set was Kriegsmarine, and took a chance.....
If it is Marine, the price is ok, for a normal can and only an M marked strap, the price is high......
Btw, straps are original......

Check the reserve glass compartment for a little eagle with M stamp
May i ask why you bid so high for the can? For that price you could have bought a complete set with gas mask inside !!
