M38 gasmask in short canister marked L.S. & R.L.M.

Nice original M38 gasmask in a short gasmask canister which has been roughly overpainted. Luckily they didn’t repaint the bottom of the canister because this shows a beautiful set of ink markings: L.S.: Luftschütz and R.L.M.: Reichsluftfahrtministerium. Nice and interesting gasmask which would be nice for a research project!
