British Mk I Light Anti Gas Respirator

The British Mark I Light Anti Gas Respirator consisted of a black rubber facepiece with a 60mm filter attached directly to the cheek.  This example was made by British Tyre and Rubber Company in 1944.  Stamps indicate this set was exported to Denmark after WWII, where the designation was changed to M/45E (45 for the year they were imported, and E for England).
