I have a also a Romanan tin similar to what was on offer in the auction, in poor condition as well, it was used by a farmer for holding D.D.T.!!! I was also wondering if the Romanians carried the Gas mask in a bag in WW2. Kevin in Deva.

The romanian army carried gas masks in bags but they also carried gase masks in canisters.
