Excellent Un-issued 1939 MKV Respirator & MKVI Haversack

An outstanding example of an early wartime MKV respirator & MKVI haversack in a condition that is rarely encountered.
The haversack and strap are both dated 1939 and bear the makers name MAPLE, the haversack is a two tone example with the side panels being a lighter sand colour compared to the standard khaki coloured main body.
The respirator is also in excellent condition with the rubber face piece and elasticised head harness still very pliable (usually found dry & brittle), the metal outlet valve assembly is nicely stamped 1939 and rubber face piece stamped 1/40 (January 40).
The khaki stockinet covered corrugated tube is also in excellent condition, the glass eye pieces are now slightly clouded which is now a common finding on respirators, 1939 dated anti-dimming tube still present.
A show piece example.
