WW2 LIGHTWEIGHT (PARA) GAS MASK & BAG |
Item No. 00215
|
A genuine, unissued WW2 dated British Army Lightweight (Para) Gas Mask & Bag. This pattern of gas mask replaced the hose-type mask, and was first issued to Paratroopers and Airborne units, hence the fact that most people refer to them as the "Lightweight Para" issue. However, as time went on they became issued to all units, including Infantry, Corps and the ATS. We have a small number of these gas masks, all of which were made in England during WW2, and carry a variety of dates on them - usually 1942-1944. They were sent to the Danes after WW2, where they were carefully kept in storage for emergency use. The filters carry a Danish marking, which, if your'e careful - can be fairly easily removed. Each gas mask comes with a correct WW2 bag (haversack). Gas masks are in excellent condition, and the bags are in VGC for age (1942-1945).
