It is true... if these were civilian...why a Waffenamt?

Waffenampt's i.e., inspection proof marks can be found on para military items such as these gas masks as well. There were also a VM40 Volksgasmaske in a paper box that were marked with waffenampt's

Here is a link to a list of WA codes but I think it is incomplete.

In war time there was more civilians then soldiers but is sure a great find. Congrats.

If you are selling, I'm in for one. I collect only gas masks.
