An authentic WWI military relic showing expected age-related wear and deterioration. Excellent addition to a military, WWI, or trench warfare collection. The carrier bag is hand-marked Homer W. B, 342nd MG Bn. 1918, identifying the original owner and military unit. Great WWI equipment highly sought after by military historians and collectors. The carrier remains well marked and displays nicely. The gas mask does show deterioration on the inside leather.
