Rare and nice genuine WWII British sleeve gas detector, issued to Allied airborne troops and first-wave units of the amphibious landings on D-Day.
This brown paper armband was impregnated with a chemical reagent intended for alerting its wearer in the case of a gas attack otherwise undetectable. This type was massively used by the US Army.
The present detector, bearing 1 SL ink stamp and manufactured in May 1943, is in good overall condition.
