My new complete gas mask

[rick1]

Hi thought you guys would like to see my gas mask and canister I just got. I am collecting a kit circa 1939, and liked not only the fact it had the original dated 1937strap and leather supports, but because it was in very good condition yet it was actually used and not mint. Any opinions or comments on anything, or perhaps something I may have not noticed is welcome.

Rick, you have done very well with this piece! definitely nice. if all your pieces are like this you will have an outstanding collection. remember- QUALITY always, its worth the wait to find that great piece like this one. by the way, is the gas cape in the pouch? looks like it is. if so any markings on it?

Thanks guys. No Glenn I wish it had the cape, its probably pretty hard to find a pre war cape for it they didn't hold up well. Anyway this suits the bill for me now without the cape, good eye though, for now I folded up some newspaper to fill it out properly.
