Soviet Civil Guard Gas Mask Kit - Military Black

Soviet Civil Guard Gas Mask Kit - Military Black - Small-Medium

New Soviet civil guard gas mask kit in the military black fits small - medium. Gas masks was stored by the Soviets for the event of nuclear, biological or chemical attacks and were to be distributed to the population if needed. These are in new, unissued condition. Great working order with soft rubber, brand new filter and carry case. The metal buttons on the carry pouch might have some surface rust. Other than light corrosion on metal parts these are in perfect working order and remain ready to use. These were made throughout the 1970's and 80's until the end of the cold war.

Each kit includes the bag, mask and filter. Some kits include accessories or military literature. These were made over a number of years so expect slight variation in the color/design of the bags and masks.  This Soviet civil guard gas mask was intended for Cold War civilian use and helps to protect the face, eyes and respiratory system against chemicals and radioactive and biological warfare agents in the form of gases, vapors, aerosols and more. It has a lightweight, rubber shower cap design that gives you full face and head coverage and the dual-eye openings have sealed, protective eye lenses. The gas mask comes with an unused, screw-on Soviet 40mm canned filter cartridge and a carrying bag.
