Hello Everyone!
I have a question regarding a German gas mask I have been given.
Is the cap on the front of the filter supposed to screw off?If it is can anyone give any suggestions as to how I can get mine off because it appears to be stuck fast!
Also,the cannister has a coat of silvery-grey paint on it,this appears to have been put on after a coat of desert yellow paint and after a coat of olive green paint.I am wondering if the silvery-grey paint is a wartime repaint or if it is a post war job?Although I cannot think of any branch of service that used this type of grey!If anyone can help with the filter or the colour question I would be extremely grateful.Sorry no pics as I don't have a digicam.
Kind regards,
Andy
