Rare original 1932 German DEGEA / Auergesellschaft gas-mask and respiratory-protection training publication from the famous Auer Gasschutzschule at Oranienburg, near Berlin. This large-format illustrated technical pamphlet is an original Sonderdruck (special offprint) from issues 5/6, 1932 of “Die Gasmaske – Zeitschrift für Atemschutz”, the specialist German journal devoted to gas masks, respiratory protection and protective equipment. The article is titled. Wie lernt und lehrt man die Handhabung von Atemschutzgeräten? It was written by Pepp Seidl of Berlin, identified on the publication as an instructor at the Gasschutzschule in Oranienburg. This is an especially interesting piece of pre-WWII German gas-protection history, dating from the final year of the Weimar Republic. Published in 1932, it predates the Third Reich and World War II, but documents the development of German gas-mask, respiratory-protection and civil/industrial gas-defense training that would continue and expand during the 1930s. DEGEA / Auergesellschaft was one of Germany’s important manufacturers and developers of gas masks, respirators, filters and respiratory-protection equipment. Rather than being simply an equipment advertisement, this publication provides a fascinating contemporary look at how German personnel were actually trained to fit, wear and work while using gas masks and respiratory equipment. A major attraction of this publication is its extensive period photographic content. The booklet contains numerous black-and-white photographs showing training and practical exercises at the Gasschutzschule Oranienburg, including. Gas-mask fitting and donning instruction. Men performing physical exercises while masked. Respiratory-protection training under physical load. DEGEA breathing/protective equipment in actual use. Exercise and testing equipment. Groups of trainees wearing protective equipment. One illustrated section is headed. “Augenblicksbilder aus der Gasschutzschule in Oranienburg”. Snapshots from the Gas Protection School in Oranienburg. The photographs provide exceptional visual documentation of early German gas-mask and breathing-apparatus training. One image is captioned “Rettungsübung des Stahlhelms”, documenting a rescue exercise involving the interwar German veterans’ organization Der Stahlhelm. Other illustrations show training with the DEGEA-CO-Gerät, an early Auer respiratory-protection apparatus developed for working in hazardous atmospheres. / Auergesellschaft Publication: Die Gasmaske – Zeitschrift für Atemschutz Issue: Sonderdruck aus Nr. 5/6 Date: 1932 Author: Pepp Seidl, Berlin Affiliation: Lehrer an der Gasschutzschule in Oranienburg Language: German Format: Illustrated technical pamphlet / journal offprint Pages: Approximately 8 pages plus front cover Size: Approximately 11 7/8″ × 8 1/4″ Illustrations: Numerous original black-and-white training photographs. Very good original condition for a fragile German technical publication dating from 1932. The printed pages and photographic illustrations remain crisp, clear and highly displayable. The paper retains good overall presentation with relatively limited age toning. Two old filing/binder holes are present along the left margin and continue through the publication, consistent with archival or binder storage of technical offprints of this type. There is localized wear and oxidation around portions of the binding area. No major tears or extensive losses are evident in the photographs. The important printed text and photographic content remain well preserved. Please carefully examine all photographs, as they form an important part of the condition description. A scarce and highly visual piece of German pre-WWII gas-mask, Atemschutz, Gasschutz, industrial-safety and civil-defense history, particularly desirable to collectors of Auer / Auergesellschaft / DEGEA equipment, German gas masks, Luftschutz-related material, Weimar-era militaria, technical ephemera and the development of WWII-era respiratory protection.

This is an original WWII-era Imperial Japanese Navy carrying case for the Type 93 No. Important: The gas mask itself is NOT included. This listing is for the original carrying/storage case only. One of the most interesting features is the original instruction sheet attached inside the lid, titled Instructions for the Type 93 No. 2 Gas Mask, Type 4. Its survival inside the original case makes this a particularly interesting historical reference piece. The Type 93 gas mask was protective equipment used by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Such equipment was intended not only as protection against chemical warfare agents, but also for hazardous conditions that could occur aboard warships and at naval installations, including smoke and potentially harmful fumes resulting from fires, explosions, shelling, or bombing. This case was specifically designed for the storage and transportation of that protective equipment. It is constructed as a sturdy military carrying case and still retains internal fabric straps. The original Japanese instruction sheet remains attached to the inside of the lid. While Japanese Army equipment survives in relatively large quantities, original Imperial Japanese Navy equipment is generally encountered less frequently. Specialized accessories such as dedicated gas-mask cases are also often separated from their original equipment over the decades. For collectors of Japanese naval militaria, the surviving original instruction sheet is an especially attractive feature. The case shows significant age and service wear, including paint loss, scratches, surface rust, staining, and general deterioration consistent with an approximately 90-year-old military item. The instruction sheet also shows age-related wear. Gas mask, filter canister, and other equipment are NOT included. Only the carrying case shown in the photographs is included. An interesting original piece for collectors of Imperial Japanese Navy equipment, WWII Japanese militaria, naval equipment, and historical military artifacts. International Buyers – Please Note.
