Original U.S. WWII D-Day Invasion E7 Assault Carrier For M5 Gas Mask British Flags Pulling the friction wire through

Pulling the friction wire through the friction composition contained in the capsule would result in a flame that ignited the delay pellet (black cylinder in the picture above)

This meant it could keep enemy aircraft under fire over longer time spans

so we assume these were part of a display at some time

Right lens in very good condition

including a long dedication to the king (customary with Nepalese artillery) and a date of acceptance into service in the 1890s

We have acquired a small quantity of these lovely, genuine World War Two American E7 Rubberized Assault carriers as used by U. S. troops during the amphibious D Day invasion. This is only the carry bag with straps, a Gas mask is not included. The condition of the bags is wonderful and they do show signs of use. They have the standard but faint U. S. UL ARMY COMBAT SERVICE GAS MASK in OD green painted on the front.
