WW2 German Normandy Camouflaged Gas Mask & Tin

German M38 gas mask with a light green & reddish brown camouflage overspray to canister & both of its original long & short straps with matching green paint to buckles.
Typical of the some of the camouflage schemes found on Normandy related items the light green spray has been applied sparingly to the outside of the canister with the reddish brown colour very typical of the Summer of '44. The long & short carrying straps are totally original to it with matching light green paint to metal fittings of both. Inside of canister has spare lens compartment with maker & date of 1938 , a packet of 1944 dated spare lenses are inside. Gas mask is the M38 with full rubber facepiece there are two eagle & swastika markings stamped to the reverse of the facepiece. Filter is interestingly 'Tr' marked denoting suitable for Tropical use . This is also eagle & swastika marked. The gas mask number can still be seen painted to snout of the mask. This was most likely painted over on the canister when it was camouflaged .
Overall nice set & would compliment a Normandy soldier mannequin display perfectly.
