Is this correct or am I referencing the wrong sites?Īgain, any info you offer will be much appreciated 🙂 🙂Īn wonderful and accurate reproduction offered by Hessen Antiques. The price I'm coming up with is $350-$500 USD. This is based on his existing collection of Russian and US post war crap. What is the median price one should pay for one if these things? Pete (whose about as dense as a cinder block) was hoping to pay about $100 USD. It would make sense but, being in the military myself, I know that just because something makes sense doesn't make it a reality.Ĥ. Are the filters interchangeable for the M1915 and M1917 masks. Are these things safe to have in the home/around children? I've heard that the filters can contain asbestos but also that the chemical residue from actually poison gas can remain.ģ. I know there are reproductions about there but it seems the reproductions can be convincing dolled up to look 100+ years old.Ģ. The M1915 had rubberized canvas and seems to be much rarer than the M1917 which was made from oil impregnated leather and for this reason the tend to age well.ġ. I know that there were two types of German masks during the Great War the M1915 and 17. Ok, a few minutes of typing, a little googling in exchange for a Chicago style deep dish? Sounds like a deal 😛)Īfter a few days on Google I feel pretty familiar with WW1 German gas masks. (Also, my friend, we'll call him Pete, is one lazy SOB and when I refered him to this forum he shrugged and said he'd buy me a pizza if I'd do the research for him. Gas masks really aren't my thing but I love to learn about anything military so here I am. Knowing that I'm a small time collector he's asked me for my advice. And according to him, it really doesn't get more iconic than the M1917. Most of what he has are modern army surplus items bought on the cheap but he's now looking on buying an "iconic" item. While I really don't plan to purchase one due to the asbestos in the filters a friend of mine is looking to add one to his collection. Hello everyone, I have a question about the M1917 German Gasschutzmaske Gas Mask.
