The ergonomically shaped mask has a matte khaki texture, with round red-rimmed eye-pieces. The lenses are transparent, revealing the internal structure and seams of the mask. A light textile strap is visible on the upper part, intended for adjustment on the head, as well as a cord visible at the back. The brown filter is screwed to the base of the mask and displays a uniform patina, characteristic of vintage military equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe transport box, also made of metal, features a dark green finish aged by traces of oxidation and wear, particularly noticeable on the lid and the upper part. Its lid, placed in front of the box, reveals a heavily patinated surface, with apparent chips and rust spots. A frayed textile band, probably the original strap, is attached to the top of the box. The ensemble exudes an authentic aesthetic, true to militaria equipment from the 1939-1945 period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elements visible in the photo show signs of past use: the surface of the mask and filter has wear marks, slight scratches, and a uniform brown patina. The red rims around the eye-pieces provide a striking visual contrast, typical of certain European military models from World War II. No legible markings or inscriptions are visible on the presented side of the mask or box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object is presented standing, with the mask resting on its filter and the box vertical, highlighting the textural differences between the mask's rubber, the filter's metal, and the box. The robustness of the ensemble and its stylistic coherence recall military equipment productions from the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage military gas mask, with its authentic appearance and original box, constitutes a representative example of the personal protective equipment used during World War II. It is a militaria object whose look and patina are particularly sought after for historical authenticity and the industrial aesthetic of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is, with visible signs of wear, oxidation, and patina on the metal and mask.
