US Army ā€œCover Protective Individualā€ Anti-Gas Wrap / Cloak – WWII

Interesting anti-gas protective cover, supplied to US Army during WWII. Designed to shelter the serviceman from attacks with vescicant agents (as the infamous mustard gas, appeared in the trenches of WWI), the cover, once unrolled, took the shape of a cloak, and, thanks to a combination of green and transparent plastic, allowed to cover the soldier's whole body, together with his weapon and gear, still permitting him to look outside. Wrapped in a special aluminium cloth foil, the accessory, if needed, could also perform, in a foxhole, a useful rainproof function. Except for some wear signs and small tears at the packaging's edges, which however attest the piece's long history, allowing us, at the same time, to take a look at the inside, the specimen for sale presents itself in more than good general conditions: a real bargain for all last World War's US militaria collectors.
