WW2 Home Guard Gas Mask & Tin

During the early days of the LDV/ Home Guard they were issued with the standard civilian gas mask contained in a cardboard box which would not withstand the rigours of training etc so the box was replaced by the cylindrical carrying tin, this was also short lived as later replaced with standard military type.
This gasmasks rubber is still pliable with good straps,the tin still has the cloth liner present ,one dent/crease to tin with some patches of surface rust.
Tin dated 1941, gas mask dated 1939.
