Named Landsturm Battalion WWI Model 1917 Gas Mask with Canister and Filters Carrying Bag
$625.00
The oiled leather face mask shows age and use, but the leather remains supple and it is intact. The lenses are toned with age but they are undamaged. The elastic head harness is complete. The filter shows rust. The gas mask is contained within its carrying canister which also shows rust. The base of the canister bears the painted name of “Zwickert”. The gas mask and canister are accompanied by the cloth bag for carrying extra filters. A spare filter is within the bag, contained within its storage tin. The bag has stitched to it a cloth name tag with the name of “Zwickert” and identifying him as a member of a Landsturm Battalion. The rear of the bag has two cloth belt loops, one of which is missing its closure button. Overall good field used condition.
