LE GALLUS  Commercial Market mask
The Le GALLUS mask is of the same design as the British Mk III Military mask and  was manufactured in France under British licence ( Leyland ? )

The only difference between them is the eyepieces mounting, who is not screwed but setted right on the facepiece and the frontpiece housing with the French filter threading diameter.

A rubber moulded six points head harness is provided.

Some of them has been sold with a corrugated hose.
As it is larger than the common French masks, it was transported in a bag.

It was never been delivered to the population by the Défense Passive Services and only sold on the commercial market with various filters
