Hi Folks:
I want to share with you a nice German WWI gas mask that is made of leather vs. canvas and I don't know the model....and the filter is dated 18 Juli 1918. The lenses are clear and all the straps are intact. This mask is in very good condition considering the age...which is almost 100 yrs old. I bought this and a messkit off a table that had this next to a WWI USA aviation pilot grouping which was being held for another buyer. There is a hallmark on the filter which I can't make out. There is a string on the front of the mask...and I don't know why. Does anyone know why the string is there? Thanks,
