Hello folks;
Purchased a pair of quite rare anti-gas gloves the other day, to go with my anti gas cape. I am aiming to collect the full range of this as issued to Home Guards to show the cumbersome additional gear the decontamination unit[s] might have had to wear.
I now need:
Tin of No2 or no5 anti gas ointment
Anti Gas Boots
Anti gas Hood
Anti Gas Helmet cover
Anti Gas brassard
Anti Gas paper [haha seems rare as rocking horse poo someone was selling a sheet for £100]
mittens - supposedly to go inside the yucky sticky anti gas gloves to stop your hands going green
Over gloves - to go over the anti gas gloves to help protect them!
Golly- what were these people thinking! I dread to think how much the government must have spent on all this stuff, not to mention all the gas masks, that in the end were never needed.
If anyone has any of the above possibly for sale then let me know
I am also looking for an earlier type gas mask with the khaki fabric mask. I have an early Mk7 bag with no mask.
Regards
Matt
Ps - I think I have a lead on a pair of the overboots...still waiting to hear. [but there is 2 types]
