WW2 German Wehrmacht – LONG GAS MASK CANISTER STRAP – TROPICAL – NICE!

You are bidding on a SUPERB used example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht M38 Long Gas Mask Canister Carrying Strap!With the development of poisonous gases used as offensive weapons throughout WW1, appropriate defensive gas masks had to be developed. The early M1915 and 1917 gasmasks evolved into the M24, and eventually into the M30 and M38 versions. All German Heer. Luftwaffe, and Kreigsmarine personnel were issued a gasmask, carry canister and accessories, and were required to have them ready at all times.Made of tan canvas,this M38 pattern Gas Mask strap is in SUPERB used condition!Some sight marks and wear on the metal fittings, but nothing that detracts. No manufacture markings that I can see (probably faded over time).A PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
