Lastly the spare lens compartment to the inside of the lid retains its original compliment of 1917 dated twin replacement lenses in their original paper sachet.Īn excellent example which would prove difficult to upgrade. The straps on this Tin are not only all there, they are undamaged and strong. Paper cloth straps are the correct pattern for the M17 Tin, however, these rare items are most typically found to be lost or in shreds given the material's substance, this leading to the often seen collector replacement to a more readily available, but incorrect, fabric type. It retains all its original grey "paper cloth" carrying straps. The Gas Mask Tin is original to the Mask and no less pleasing. Here there are no such holes or extensive rust, with the field grey paint at least 95% present. The filter is clearly dated 1917 and this too is in very good condition as often than not these are rusty, frequently to the extent of piercing the filter, this due to the internal chemicals starting to degrade. This important item is usually lost as it is simply knotted in place and this is only the second original example I’ve ever come across. The sprung head and hanging straps atop the Mask are very good and again undamaged, every one is strong and functioning correctly.įinally, the original weight-bearing cord to the front of the Mask is still present. The leather to the body of the Mask is soft, pliable, and un-punctured with the viewing lenses whole and unscratched. The leather-faced Gas Mask was first introduced for use by the German Army in 1917 and today of course it is much sought after as being one of the most evocative WW1 pieces.

Pretty excited about this discovery this morning so thanks for having me interested in finding some content for ya!īent double, like old beggars under sacks, Leica makes lenses of all sorts now these days but there is an Optic Museum which has a lot of cool shit inside of it called Viseum Wetzlar. Can you guess the name of that company? Think Optical.Leica. Researching on it, I see that E Leitz was Ernst Leitz GmbH which is broken up into three companies all under the same name. For me its kind of badass because I didnt know how significant the town of Wetzlar was other than where half of my family lives and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's infatuation with a Charlotte Buff. Stumbled across something badass which was the German Trench Periscope which has E Leitz Wetzlar stamped on it. I just happen to find the section for Arms of the First World War.
