WW2 German Gas Mask Set

WW2 German gas mask set with green factory paint , gas mask number to neck & filter & both original wartime issue long & short carrying straps.
Coming with a black leather equipment strap to hold the gas cape bag still fastened to it the gas mask canister is 1940 dated & waffenamt eagle & swastika marked to the spare lense compartment with a packet of spare lenses contained within. A cleaning cloth & retaining spring are still down inside the canister which I have not removed wary of not wanting to damage the spring . The gas mask is an interesting late issue dated 1944 to eyepieces , lenses , & the blue lense retainers. Both the blue metal retainers are marked 'dot44' the maker 'dot' known to have made parts for weapons such as the MG34 as well as other related items. The Fe41 filter is still eagle & swastika stamped with the date ' Februar 1944' to side. The facepiece straps are very much of late rayon manufacture with central 'yoke' left in bare metal very much a late war feature of many German items. A red ink stamped eagle & swastika waffenamt mark can be found to inside edge of the facepiece.
