The outer seal (nearest to face) appears always darker. Colour: original masks differ in colour from light to dark leather. The position of the straps around the side and rear of head have been copied from a collector wearing an original mask, as few original photos exist where no headdress is worn. The filter can after the excess resin / casting-canal are removed be screwed onto the mask just like on the original. The cord on the front of the mask could be shortened, lifting the filter, thus enabling a better vision for wearer – this was optional and left for the individual to decide. The first part of the straps were part rubberised (reinforced with wire) and part cloth. The protruding metal rings on the outside of the eyepieces protected the glass from scratches. These were set at an angle with a larger gap in between, avoiding earlier blind spots each side of the head. Apart from the new cone appearance, the important difference over the previous mask was the position of the eyepieces.

The fixed celluloid glass eye pieces were coated with gelatine on the inside to avoid misting up, which in turn was protected by a metal Spinne, or spider metal frame to also avoid scratching / smearing – these could be removed for cleaning etc. The mask incorporated only 3 seams in the material, an overall improvement from the M.15 mask reducing the risk of leakage. 15 ( Linienmaske), made out of sheep leather and impregnated with special gas proofing oils. 17 / Ledermaske (Gasmaske M.17): The replacement mask for the Gasmaske M.
