    1. Wow, it sounds like I made a great purchase, especially finding one all the way down here in South Africa. Also, the words on the filter make out "Jerry Watch Him". Does anyone have an idea how this got there? I would think that the owner of the mask had been captured by a Brittish soldier, who had then took his mask and painted that on it.
    2. Thanks for the response. I was told by someone that it looked like a good example of a german gas mask. Here are some photos of the tin and mask. On the bottom side of the tin, there are words written in white-red paint, most of it is scratched off, so all that is really visible is the word "Belgium", and near to it is a small wierd red stamp. There was also a circular piece of paper that was written in German inside wich what looks to me like the gass masks manual. Does it seem to you like a Belgian mask to you or is it indeed German?<br>And what do you think is its value?<br>Thank you =].
    3. Hello. Could anyone tell me how much one of these are worth now? I bought one for about £25 ($41) a few weeks ago, the leather is in general good condition but its missing that draw-string at the front. The tin has quite a few dents. It mentions that the soldier was stationed in Belgium in 1918 and the filter has been written on with a yellow red paint saying "Jerry watch him" on it. Im quite new to collecting militara and am wondering whether this was a good buy or not? Thanks =].
    4. Hello, I have recently found out that my great uncle was part of the Polish 2nd Corps who I have knowledge of him having fought in Monte Cassino and Bolgna before and 2nd corps got sent to the UK after the 2nd Corps got demobolised. He is in fact still alive, so Ill try to contact him in the near future to see what information he can remember and how his experiance was like and also to check what medals and photos he may have taken or achieved. This forum looks great by the way. Thanks.
