Dutch WWII 1937 Model G Gas Mask / Respirator + Filter / Carrier Bag - VTG

Description

Listing is for a
Vintage 1937 Produced Dutch Model G Gas Mask + Filter and Canvas Carrier Bag.
Genuine WWII General Dutch Issue!
The Dutch Model G is from the Netherland government's gas mask series, starting at A during WWI and ran until the 1960's with the Model K.
Despite the Dutch Model G being #7 in the series, it's still a very early mask, always being dated 1937-1939 albeit the design technically started in 1933 with the Model F.
The Model F had excessive design flaws so it appears that the Model G was a corrected version of the Model F. Being the nature of close connection between the two, it's assumed that the Model G design was already started after the Model F (1933) but wasn't actually finalized and produced for actual issuance until early 1937.
With the exception of the last used Model K (due to long period of usage and massive production) every other model in the Dutch Model series are all excessively rare masks and the earlier they are in the series, the more quite literally impossible they are to find. Most of the beginning models only have one or two known surviving examples and some Models don't even have any known surviving examples at all; just text documentation.
The Model series is typically very sought after because the Dutch were always unique with their designs, almost every mask in the series takes on a unique construction that's unlike any other country. The Model F and the Model G are two of the more sought after masks of the series as they're some of the most visually appealing masks of the series and there is never been another mask that even remotely looks similar.
The masks are even rare in the origin country (Netherlands) but they're much easier to find there compared to the rest of the world. However that comes with a grain of salt because the Netherland's government has recently banned the export of these old era of masks due to the materials used in the production which has effectively made them nearly impossible to acquire now.
This specific listing is for one of only a handful of these masks on US soil, truly a rare collectible that you probably wont have the chance to buy ever again so if it's in your area of collecting, it's definitely worth the treasure.
