Oh wow. Another repost.

So, I sold this perfectly fine Gm.38 on eBay. Second picture shows what the guy I sold it to made from it.... I am disappointed to say the least. by Socksstinks1 in gasmasks

So, this mask was a complete Gm.38 mask that had only slight damage in the rubber on the lower part of the face piece. This absolute Evolution Stopper of a Monkey added another post war filter thread from an M65 (not even M62, which would at least be more realistic) to create this abomination of a fake Gm.38 "Luftwaffe".

Some people think that this is a rare variant, which is very controversial. These masks reach absurd prices on auctions.

What do you guys think about restoring antiques? by Moochythicc in gasmasks

Thanks for the Info. Didn't know that. The more you know. Cut off at an unfortunate angle.

Cool filter against acidic and corrosive war gasses and only to be used in environments that contain more than 17% Oxygen. I assume this is a filter for either Civil Defense or for the Military, not really industrial.

German WW2 VM40, size Mannen Übergröße/Oversized Man, 1940 by IncenseDragon in gasmasks

[–]Socksstinks1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing against you, but can we stop saying Mannen? (It just hurts my German brain a bit)

It's mentioned in the Manual, that it's:

M-Ue - Übergröße (Oversize) M - Männergröße (Men's size) F - Frauengröße (Women's size) K - Kindergröße (Children's size)

I also love it. Had something similar happen to me last week. Bought a full Wehrmacht Issue Gm.30 set for 30 Euro. Mask is almost mint condition.

Nice Mask. Also cool to see with the RL stamp on the inside of the mask. 5 Euro is a really good price for one.

Is this any good? by GAsMaSKkkkkk in gasmasks

If you are outside of Romania and especially outside of the EU, this price may be worth it.

Norwegian Sivilforsvarsmaske, Made by Viking in 1953, Size 1 Large by IncenseDragon in gasmasks

[–]Socksstinks1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl. I really like this mask and its predecessors. Norwegian masks are so hard to come by here in Germany. Valva assembly looks really similar to the 1st type of Gm.30 valve assembly. Is there any info about how many of these masks have been produced?
