    Hello, nice KM marked gasmask. Is not easy to found them.

    I have 3 KM gasmasks, and 2 of them are marked with the KM stamps, in the mask and in the can, and has the name of the owner painted on the metal parts and in a label on the starps. The other one is only with a paper with the owner ID, and all the parts (mask, filter, can and starps) has the name painted and in a label.

    Hello ,

    Very nice looking gas mask :cheers: This is a gas mask with microphone attachment , I see many of these for sale and everybody calls them Kriegsmarine gas masks :rolleyes: , but other branches of the military used these also so to be correct ( like yours ) it must have the correct KM acceptance markings .

    Best Regards,

    Joe

    Hello ,

    This gas mask is called an optical gas mask . These were issued to all branches of the German military not just the KM .

    This mask is made from leather and has glass eyepieces held in place by metal inserts . The metal rod along the top of the eyepieces moves them to change the interpupillary distance between them . You can change this distance on standard gas masks like the GM 30 or GM 38 . The rubber hose was worn over the shoulder and standard filter canisters can be used as well as the Co2 filter ( as shown in this picture ) . If there are no KM ink stamps this could have been used by anyone . I have been looking for this gas mask for a long time , if it is for sale let me know as I already own the empty steel carrier box !

    Best Regards,

    Joe
