France, 1st World War. - Lot 236
France, 1st World War.
M2 gas mask, dated November 4, 1916.
The lens eyelets are painted horizon blue (allowing the mask to be dated before 1917). The production date is clearly legible on the reverse side of the protective cover, "4 NOV 1916". A protective glass is detached from the mask. It comes in a 2nd type rectangular metal carrying case, retaining 90% of its original horizon-blue paint, with traces of oxidation and rust in places. The suspension cord is damaged and missing.
(Wear and age patina, accidents. In original condition).
Provenance: attic of a château in the Nancy region, annexed and occupied by the Germans in 1914 and 1940, then by the Americans in 1944.
