r/gasmasks

I had no space and just got the helmet/cap, so on it goes (also didnt have the right filter). Looks preatty cool tho and reminds me of the MM1

Can the hood on this jawn be removed? I’ve never had an M17 and I figured one would be cool to wear with my pot helmet. Seller says there’s wear too so I’m a little hesitant because of that too.

Payed £45 for it, man in the shop said it was Ukrainian but I honestly haven’t a clue

Item was slightly damaged during unfortunate accident. Is this something to worry about? Goes through but is covered by lenses

I picked up a m50 gas mask at a British military surplus shop and I'm going back to the states. Anyone have any problems going through tsa or anything like that with a gas mask?

The Gasmask accepts 40mm NATO filters, has 5 point headharness with fabric elastics, glass lenses, rubber exhaust valve protector, tissot tubes near the lenses and the swiss cross on the forehead. Mine came with a bit of wax to prevent the lenses from fogging, a shape protector and a carrying bag (on which i cant find too much info on sadly. Its missing a few D Rings and Connectors to be a SM74 bag but its from the SM/GM53 either)

Lastly mine somehow came with a "Mundfilter L58", which on one side is pretty fancy with the all metal construction and the ability to stack them, but on the other side has been recalled for containing asbestos :( (For those curious the markings on it read "ALN/NSA/NDA 756-0806 10-84L" on the side and "LUWA" (likely LuftWaffe/Airforce) on the top.)

Anyone purchase one from them? How was the condition of it? I dont want a super beat up one... any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

recently bought this SBR from ebay and now i'm unfortunately in the position of wondering if it's authentic, i havent found a method online to verifying authenticity so im wondering if anyone here can help me out, thanks

I've been using it for a while and it has very little resistance and goes in very well, but I'm not sure if this is a gost filter

Is this Avon gas mask genuine? I want to buy it but I have my doubts.

These are some pictures out of an east german training manual (Handbuch Militärisches Grundwissen) and my kit. The book is a bit older so things like the M10M and PBF wich the NVA later used are not included.

The siut was carried in a roll on the back and the rest oft the kit was carried in the gas mask pouch on the side.

This is my collection so far and i definitely want to get more.

Ranked out of 10 in my opinion

M2000: 9.5

M65a2: 9

M17A1: 5

M10M: 5

SzM41M: 4

GP5: 2

SchMS: 4

Do you agree or disagree?

BTW I don't use the old soviet filters they are just a collectable.
