WW2 British Anti Gas Brassard 1941 Dated & As Issued To D-Day US Paratroopers

This is an original example of the sleeve gas detector brassard that was made from paper treated with Gas Detector paint. Upon the detection of sprayed blister gas the affected areas would turn red indicating personal decontamination was required by the soldier.
These brassards were issued to all invasion troops involved in the D-Day invasion as well as the American paratroopers who can be seen wearing them in period photographs.
Originals are hard to find today, this example has ink markings for the date (5/41) May 1941 as well as faint maker stamp to reverse.
