Indeed medical-related! More specific, a 'Luftschutz-Gastasche'.

Label and carrying-strap are missing.

Cheers

Hello J-P

Yes, mainly anti-gas/ointment products. While checking his latest update this evening, I noticed that following dealer has currently one for sale on his website. Here's a link to some pictures :

Concerning the carrying-strap I said 'missing' as I've seen them with straps too in the past, not sure if that was standard provided (as it looks more they are intended to wear on a belt).

Anyway, these aren't that rare. The contents is, as often, more difficult to put together.

Also, as LS related, they go for less $ in comparison with WH medical pouches of all sort.

ps: If I'm not mistaken, member Gran Sasso (Patrick) recently sold one on Ebay, maybe he still has better pictures saved from the label.

Cheers
Jan
