Gasmask

[johnschou]

Hi Forum
I have just got this gasmask with canister GM38, Color Blue indicating Ferrous metal, I am in doubt about the Waffenamt stamp, could it be:
WaA86, Manufactorer code: bdr Manufactorer: R Ehrhardt Location:Pössneck,Thüringen Notes:1942-1944

There is a stamp n the metal nose coud it be: BMW
There is a stamp inside the gasmask ebd ?

The Filter is from 1939

The canister has a "D" Dick at the button, which mas it is waterproof

The canister is black, I also have green ne, is there any difference beside the color

Alle additional info is welcome

Regards
John

The mask is ok, the ÜB on the filter means Übung (practice). The cannister is IMO post war repainted.

Thank your for your additional info, but where on the filter do you see ÜB, I can see AB ?

Sorry, the BIG red letters says ÜB :-), I am getting blind
