IJA gas mask bag

[Neil Hever]

Hello friends, I've been collecting the material to create a later war IJA soldier display. I have most of the items needed but one was particularly difficult to locate. I have given up on finding a complete gas mask/bag combination for now. I did locate this bag at Bay State. I would welcome feedback on the item and any details you can give me on what contents it will need to complete it. Thanks, Neil

Any Kanji Neil?

[Neil Hever]

Not a bit Shemp. It appears unissued. The strap is still coiled! Neil

Jack, thanks so much. I have heard about the HETAI book and will look for a copy. Neil

My pleasure Neil. There is another 10 pages of mask, bags & related stuff. If you wish I can send them to you via PM. Jack

Jack, If you don't mind. It would be good to limit the amount of book material posted. BTW, I am looking for a copy of the book.
