★ This reproduction M7 gas mask bag is an authentic replica of the bag worn by American troops during amphibious operations in WWII. The rubberised construction provided water protection and even functioned as a flotation aid.
Application
The M7 gas mask bag was standard issue for US Army troops during D-Day and other amphibious landings from 1944 onwards. The bag was worn on the chest by infantry and Rangers, and attached to the legs of paratroopers. Suitable for re-enactment of the late-war period 1944-1945.
Installation notes
The bag is worn with the adjustable carrying strap over the shoulder or can be attached to the legs using the additional straps. The roll closure with metal snap fasteners provides water-repellent sealing. Can also be attached to webbing or equipment belt.
Compatibility
This reproduction is modelled on the M7 Waterproof Carrier originally used for the M5 assault gas mask. The bag is suitable as a general carrying bag for re-enactment and collecting purposes. Please note: there are variants with 3 or 4 snap fasteners - check which version is required for your period-correct equipment.
Historical context
The M7 gas mask bag was introduced in 1944 as a waterproof carrier for the M5 assault gas mask. The rubberised construction made the bag not only water-resistant but also functioned as a flotation aid, which saved the lives of soldiers who fell into deep water during amphibious landings.
