gritineye Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Jack, it Just so happened that Graham Germany had a framed set of these cigarette cards for sale at Beltring, http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/homefront/cards/cman.html I then spotted an incendiary shovel for sale in the stalls almost immediately, just a chance coincidence really! Yours doesn't look the same but it had to be one. Watch those match sticks you may start a fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Now that is a challenge Degsy - I will have you all one day.:cool2::cool2: Hmm...

chevpol Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) My dad owns a set, didnt have the canister on the side though!!! Mark :-D Edited August 14, 2008 by chevpol he still got it so altered post!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I've seen two types one with canister one without. Like a large Cornetto cone. The things should have a leather strap that went round the curb groove holding the animal's mouth shut. considering the size of a horse's lungs wonder if they ever worked.

ford 369 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 not only visited the museums but bought one of these masks in Jersey around 10-15 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 :argh: When I think of the kit lying around when I was a kid! two German feild phones, Ten Shillings! Took them to school and John Watley the physics teacher helped me re wire them, a wooden rifle rack dragged out a bunker the sand dunes. An old Jeep wrecked and half buried at St Peter's. German barbed wire by the roll, got p**** off digging it out of the feild and dumping it. A friend's Grandfarther used a set of German Heavy horse harness for years on his horse Dolly. KAR 98 bayonet, swopped it for some bike bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
