Subtle two tone camouflage gasmask ID’ed to Arnhem related unit

A nice original brush painted gasmask canister with a name and unit stamp inside the lens compartment. The named unit is that of Grenadier-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon 6 which was hastily moved to the Arnhem area under operation “Alarm Küste”. More information about this unit can be read here. The canister is nicely brush painted with medium and dark green camouflage paint and still retains most of this characteristic paint. A nice set complete with straps and mask, ID’ed to a interesting unit that saw action in Arnhem!
