I think this is an industrial mask of some kind. That would explain the Bakelite snout and red-painted filter, both features you wouldn’t expect to see on a combat mask. The absence of any WaffenAmt markings backs that up, too. I suspect it’s been mated with the canister at some point, though whether that was done in wartime or postwar I couldn’t say.
There is a chance this is a postwar mask, but I think it’s more likely a pre-war design.
Regards, B.B.

Bit of a mixed bag. The behalter looks wartime, what markings are there on it? The mask & filter are post war, circa 1960. It’s a Vollmaske 735, civilian/industrial use. Definitely not WW2.

Thanks for the replies, the canister isn’t bad to me it’s dated 1939 and has lots of painted markings it was really the canister that got my attention. Thanks for clearing up the mask for me and if you want pictures of the canister I’ll be happy to get them.
Cheers,
Bodhi
