Lederschutzmaske GM17 WW1 German Gas Mask Collection Update

This is a Lederschutzmaske that I was able to get recently. The leather on the outside of the mask is looking old, but overall, the mask is still in decent condition. The rubberized backing remains intact and flexible. Even the support string for the filter assembly is still present, although broken in the middle from the tension. A very cool and unusual mask.
