Hey guys,

I got this named Schutzpolizei Gas Mask the other day...but I do not recognize the mask...

Any thoughts on this type? Fairly thin rubber.

TIA

Uncle Goose Quote will help here:

"Pre-war first version of the GTG serie of Dräger, easily recognized by the Bakelite filter connector and the large exhale disc valve on the side. The post war versions used plastic and unpainted metal parts for those. In theory these were industrial gas masks but it was not uncommon to equip rear echelon personnel with these to free up the military styled gas masks for true military duty."

exactly, Early GTG with bakelite connector. A little clean will make it shine again.
