Can't read Japanese but I can see a nice looking army gasmask sans carrying case in the trunk!

I echo what Jareth said! How is the condition of the mask?

Mask

The mask is kinda rough... Lenses are discolored and one is broken a bit. Can and tube are OK.

Thanks,
Skip

This is the Number 4 Accessory Box for the 7cm type 88 anti-aircraft field gun.
