This is a rare example of a Pre WWII German Reichswehr Gas Mask carry bag for the Model 1924 Gas Mask. The GM24 was the first German military gas mask designed after the First World War. It was issued to the Reichsheer (Imperial army), later to the Heer (Army) and to other ground forces.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo types of bags were issued. The normal infantry one, like this example, is relatively big (due to the hose and the filter) and was made of canvas. The Kavallerie Tasche (cavalry bag) is much more compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition is excellent for its age and relatively short lifespan. It appears to be complete and is offered without any extensive damage. The leather trim on the bag does show signs of honest use and wear with cracking and minor tearing present. The leather straps and flaps that are present, fully functional and in solid condition. Unfortunately one of the straps broke away and went missing long ago. The small pouch on the front has a full maker’s mark present on the inside of the leather flap:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2\/K5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA.
