Hello, I present a passive defense equipment rarely seen in collections or on the net. This is not my theme collection in particular, but I find very evocative object of the fear of the time against the German bombing raids. I assure you, no child has been abused for this evocation, I borrowed one of my baby girl who was thrilled to be this scene with me, besides, the pig seems happy experience: D. So you can see the anti gas hood, the infant was locked inside by straps to the thighs. A pump was actuated manually by the person in order to supply air in the infant. A plaque marking is visible on the rear showing the ownership of the unit to the state (hence the origin of the classification of gas masks: to ensure the return to the state by the holders of which he was available). I do not know if this type of material protected chemicals, I think more dust. I miss him more than to find objects in this theme to make a perfect staging. I hope you enjoy this evocation because it really is not common to see.
