: : : Be careful how you wash your bag..putting it in a washing machine can destroy it. WE have a product here in America called Fabreeze which is a cleaning product you spray on to fabric. As it dries it cleans the fabric and rids it of the smell. I used this on my bag when it ame it it cleaned it up pretty good and got rid of the horrible smell that came with mine. Good luck...

: : I found a source of new, unissued bags. I bought two, one to keep in the original form, and one to use (leather strap, etc.) They were on sale for $15.00 each at the time.

: Where did you get these bags and are they MK VII bags?
------------------------------------
I got them from a company called The Roadster Factory. They sell replacement parts for Triumph TR6 and MGB cars. They advertised the bag as "Mk. 7 RAF Gas Mask Bag" and "Original gear from WWII". It looks to be the original in all respects. Their part number in RFN291 and the regular list price is $31.95. The sale price was $15.97 and good through Jan 15th. They don't seem to have a website, but their phone number is 800-234-1104. Mine came in a plastic bag, and doesn't seem to have been used at all.
