Full Description

This original WW2 British M44 Gas Mask includes its canvas carrying bag and post-war filter.

Normandy Airborne Innovation

Originally issued in 1943, this Respirator, Anti-Gas, Light, Mk. II was made to replace heavy, hose-linked breathing systems. By mounting the filter directly to the left cheek, it saved weight and let soldiers aim their rifles normally. This lightweight setup became standard gear for paratroopers and assault troops landing on the beaches of Normandy in June 1944.

Danish Civil Defence Service

After the war, many unissued British masks went to Denmark for civil defence. Designated as the M/45 Engelsk, they were given to the Civilforsvaret (CF). This set includes a 1950s-dated filter and an olive carrying bag, both stamped with the Danish crown. You also get a rare, original Danish civil service manual tucked inside the pouch.

Practical Field Storage Bag

The mask fits into a tough olive-drab cotton canvas carrier built for the field. It features two large side pockets with metal press-studs for extra gear and rear loops to slide onto a web belt. The top flap closes with a webbed strap and brass buckle, making this bag an excellent, robust utility pouch for carrying modern outdoor gear or bushcraft essentials.

Add this complete, dual-nation military respirator set to your historical display or field gear collection.
