DAK D Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hi @Mav352, Hiscoll has a tropical gascape bag at a really good price in my opinion.

Manu Della Valle Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Nice and rare item BUT...it's not ONLY "Tropical",in fact "Ark" stand for "Arktisch" and was found on the recuperator housing of the guns when filled with "Braun Oel fur Arktisch",hence the stencilling "Braun Ark" often seen on many guns! This cape would work in Bengazi but it would work on the Ebrus too! Nice,rare piece piece indded! Cheers Manu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAK D Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi @Bil4338, I agree I don't recall seeing them cheaper than that even back in the day They are normally fairly scarce and double that price! D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahrtal Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have one that was unissued-----then stamped with "Haer" post-war, and used by the Norwegians. Got it in trade many years back from a deceased member of the original MCN, Tor Johannson. Still interesting, though. Guess most of the actual contents got disposed of quickly as did US gas masks.

Not really @ahrtal,during the War my Grandfather's villa had been taken over by the Germans and turned into the HQ of several different Pioniere units.My late aunt,who lived there with my grandmother and my grand-grandmother once told me,when she saw my collection and saw the gasmasks,that at a certain hour the soldiers had to wear their gas masks as a drill,no matter what they were doing;an Uffz would blow his whistle and in minutes every German soldier was wearing his gasmask!
