German Luftschutz Volksgasmaske VM44 Size 2, (Medium), 1945 Dated With Total Last Ditch Cardboard Made Filter.

They started to make the VM, (Volksgasmaske), gas filters in aluminium, then changed to zink because all the aluminium was needed for make airplanes, and finally.... Cardboard!!!!!! A GAS FILTER MADE OF CARDBOARD!!!!! Body and base of the filter were secured together with STAPLES!!!! Only Germans can do this. To me, it is one of the coolest items I had the chance to add to my collection. I have seen maybe three or four of them in 20 years and this filter comes with its untouched gas mask made in 1945.... A very hard to upgrade set I think. Mask is complete with all the straps.Shipping Costs:-Europe: 12,50 €.-Worldwide: 16,50 €.-USA: 24,00 €.
