The box shows some wear

The WAVES label with a woman's name is still present

as the wool and synthetic fiber blend is very similar to WWII

The clip is attached to a cardboard piece explaining what it is with a form to fill out to get more clips (just send 25 cents and the letter "B" from the boxtop of Blu-White soap)

Volksgasmaske Luftschutz Gas Mask Hood Type italian The box shows some wearOriginal Volksgasmaske model VM37. The mask is complete with lenses and filter. The mask is a bit dirty and has some staining, but the lenses are actually fairly clear. The rubber is still pretty stretchy, but I would not push that too far. This mask does contain asbestos and should not be worn.
