I always thought these 2 items, the canteen and gas mask cylinder were post war West Germanicon but I was told recently that the gas mask cylinder was in fact East German.

Although the NVA copied a lot of their style gear towards the WW2 pattern I was under the impression that they always used pouches for their gas masks.





What do you guys think? East or West?
