Very nice.

Great 👍

i got this mask today, because the filter has asbestos, and the filter was with the mask in carry bag 70 years, can the bag be contaminated with asbestos? even the mask?

Was it have Asbestos?

Pleased you're covering these masks. I've been making a lot of pages on the wiki to try and spread some knowledge. Do you have a site showing your collection or something similar?

I don't I'm afraid, other than bits and pieces on the facebook page, instagram, etc.

We display ours at shows for the public but there has always been the rumour that the filters were still made with Asbestos, so we don't let the children try them on for that reason. Do you know how true this is?

Not clear, I would err on the side of caution and treat them as if they do contain it.

This one does. You can swap out the filters however with a more recent one and asbestos won't be a problem.

These filters, the Light Mk II filters claim to contain charcoal and what they used to describe as "resin impregnated wool". I imagine there will be asbestos in this wool but providing you don't damage the muslin gauze holding it in, it's fine. Wouldn't recommend breathing through them but in all honesty, I wouldn't worry if you have.

Yeah just to clarify, only the August 1941 ad hoc design contained asbestos due to the Ministry of Supply not really wanting to give Porton much to work with until the design proved effective. The Dec 1941 model, the final Mk. 1 design, along with its early Mk. I Light Container did not contain any asbestos as the threat of arsenical smokes meant better particulate protection was absolutely essential. FYI, only 1,000 of those Aug 1941 models were made so, you are absolutely never going to find one... plus they're black and have white tape holding the two parts together. The actual Mk. I container does also use tape to hold the two sections together but was painted grey. Later in 1942 they made the Mk. II container we find all the time. So yeah no, unless you find a black painted experimental container, your filter does not contain asbestos. Besides, if you found that mask, you'd be at higher risk of me breaking into your house than dying by the asbestos content ;)

I have a similar looking one, I bought it in Denmark. I think it might be a Canadian one

The Danish military adopted the light anti gas respirator under the designation "gas mask M/45 E". Later on, in 1969, they adopted the C3 gas mask under the designation "gas mask M/69"

good vid, also they weren't used by British forces in 70s as the SR6 respirator replaced it in the mid 60s and had a better design and look compared to the old light anti gas respirator, and also was made to replace it as a threat of NBC was at the time a threat.

+planes124 You're quite right that the S6 was in service by this time but LAGRs were still on issue, both types show up the the 1965 NBC training manual. LAGRs still show up in photos of troops in Northern Ireland in 1969, '70 and even '71 though they were rapidly being replaced at this time even in NI. I imagine they remained in service there longer as they were still effective against tear gas. In peace time it often takes militaries a few years to fully transition to new kit.
