Classic three-tone Normandy camouflage gasmask canister

A very nice original three-tone or Normandy camouflage gasmask canister. The canister is nicely named to Unterwachtmeister Just. Hofmann Feldpostnr. 48206 b. The canister retains its original camouflage paint up to 75% and is in very nice vibrant condition.
