Description
Although post-WWII produced, the M9 Combat Service Gas Mask is the direct successor to the M5 Assault Gas Mask utilized on D-Day and is virtually identical, except for the color (gray rather than black) and the exhalation valve on the front of the mask. The mask is in excellent condition and is an inexpensive alternative to the actual M5 Gas Mask which, when available, sells for upwards of $500 alone. The M9 mask comes with a WWII-vintage M7 Gas Mask Bag which is the same type seen being worn by U.S. assault troops in a recent movie about D-Day. The M7 bag also served as a flotation device due to its water-tight construction.
Features
- The US Army M9A1 Field Protective Gas Mask is the most successful gas mask designs ever. It remained in use for two decades and it has been copied by at least five countries. The only difference between the M9 and M9A1 are the carriers, the masks themselves are identical. The M9 design, was basically an upgraded version of the US M5-11-7 Assault Service Gas Mask. It used the same 60mm M11 drum type filter canister that was attached to the side of the mask. This M9 gas mask filter inlet is on the left side, however, a right side filer inlet version was also made.
