Here is a reply from the Imperial War Museum!
We used East Coast Insulations in Great Yarmouth to remove any possible
asbestos from our Gas Masks, telephone 01493 745222. They were very
helpful. It also turned out that because of the possible asbestos we
couldn't just post the Masks to them, they had to be transported with a
company qualified to move asbestos!

Hello all - I hope you can help!
Does anyone know of any good contacts that you may have used to make
any
WW2 gas masks safe, i.e. free of asbestos?
A few of us here got our heads together and were thinking The National
Army
Museum or The Imperial War Museum may be good bets, but if any of you
have
any other experiences/contacts, then they would be greatfully
received.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Eleanor Payne
