strange thread but hear goes

This is a strange request I'm sure but I'm after a gas mask just to borrow for a week or two.

I've looked on ebay and the ones I'm after are quite expensive.

so I would like to borrow one if anyone has one please pm me I would pay for p&p both ways and keep good care of it.

This mask is what I'm after but with steel rim around the glass, there was one earlier on today at around 9.00 am and went for over £30.00

I'm not sure I want to know who's got a gas mask in their "Personal Exotica" collection

Erm, well, ...actually... I have. I gained an entire NBC kit years from one of my contacts from surplus post-sept 11th panic stock - mostly because it was a free Peli case!

But it may not be the right design for you as its modern design? Its one of these

Flossie I'm blushing "Exotica" or "fetish"

I want to do some think on the line's of pollution Ie a model in a evening dress sitting in a gas mask

I will keep you in mind if thats ok

In the event of finding a WW2-era mask be careful. Some or possibly all of these used asbestos in the filters, if the filter is still present then it could pose a health hazard.

They've got some slightly cheaper ones here: link

this the style I'm after but with out the risk of healthy asbestos

so I think I will take you up on your gas mask flossie I will PM you later on if that's ok

Might help

I'm not sure which is weirder, looking for a gas mask on a photographic forum, or getting three links from forum members on where to find them......
