This is a reproduction German army WWII gas mask cape with an RBnr number and date stamping. The date (28/1943) represents the 28th week of 1943. Yes the later type capes were made of paper. The item is made by us here in the Czech republic.  It is $9.50 to ship this item to anywhere in North America, Australia, NZ and most of Asia. Within Europe and the UK the postage is $8.00.  DO SEE MY EBAY STORE AND MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE ITEMS. I am more than happy to combine postage with any items to help save you money.

 **** I do have the reproduction pouch for the cape, see my other listings.
