The threatened use of poison gas in WW2 never became a reality; however Gas Masks were standard issue for both Allies and Axis Forces. More often than not the carriers were used for other purposes and the masks long discarded which makes them hard to find today. Here is an opportunity to complete your WW2 British Collection.
Idiot Clause! DO NOT USE THIS GAS MASK for anything other than display purposes. It is 80+ years old and is no longer intended to filter breathing air.
