    AK Gas mask

    Hello
    Does any one knows , what the # 09 APR 63 would mean ? they are found on one AK face mask on the straps . The face mask was in the AK cannister for a long time. There is one on the estand right now , with the exact same # on the straps ( check seller "VET44" DAK gasmask GM 30).
    Let me know if you do know.
    Regards
    P-Y

    Hello
    No one knows ? it has been discussed before , but still no one knew then.
    I do not think it relate to a date , but I have no ideas what it could be .
    Check your AK/southern front gasmask ( the ones with the tan paint) just to see , if you have these markings as well.
    Regards

          I don't know if these masks are post war reissue, all I know is I have the same mask of which the filter is WaA stamped over the tan paint. Which does suggest a (late?) war issue.

          So it is still a little mystery, at least for me.

            Hello
            Well thanks for responding .
            The mask in question must be a real AK issue , since it is dated 1941 .
            Regarding the markings being a date , seems really strange to re issue these mask in 1963 ???!!! especially when the one I have seen , were not mint and some did not have these markings .
            They are for sure not from egypt , since you would see Arabic markings .
            I don't know if it could be Belgian either , why would they get 20 years old outdated gasmask ? .
            Still a mystery so far , I guess we will never know for sure.
            Regards
            Pierre-Yves
