KRIM SHIELD
I have 2 x Krim shields from a dealer in Bavaria, one is on a tunic and has a bronzed effect whereas the other unattached shield has a grey sheen colour. I am told that the bronze effect faded to grey which may explain why mine has gone this colour. Is this true?

GAS MASK CANISTERS
I have aquired a Wehrmacht Gas mask canister made by AUER and the translation on the can translates 'for civilian use' or words to the effect. Were the military issued with these cans as even the strap is different to the other canister I have?
Many thanks
