r/gasmasks

If you guess the Manufacturer of this gas mask correctly, you get a ShM-41 rubber valve cover and hose for free from me.

Have fun guessing. I am almost 100% certain nobdy will find this out.

So if i hypothetically, purely hypothetically found a ww2 japanese civil protection gas mask for 10 bucks, would it be classified as robbery if i bought it.

It has the instructions, container, and everything included, the mask is in good condition apart from a tear in the strap
Also this post is largely a joke, but genuinely should i buy it

Is it possible to glue a torn rubber headstrap back together?

So I'm planning on buying a 40's gas mask and one of the straps was torn/cut/idk what happened to it.

Would it be possible to glue/attach it back together and still have enough structural integrity to be displayed/worn.

Here a few of the masks I like the most in my collection.

From left to right: Vz.35 kit from 1936 but reissued in the late 1930s/early 40s as a civil defense gas mask for the German air defense, Wz.32 from 1935 but reissued in the 1940s as a training mask, C2 from 1938 but was reissued in the 1940s as a training mask, Wz.38 with almost full kit from 1939, but also reissued as a training mask in the 1940s.

Weird veiny rough thing on C50

I recently bought a 2012 production C50 and when it arrived it had this weird veiny crystal like thing on the surface of the rubber, tried washing under warm water with no luck. Anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it.

Is this a good model to buy

Hi, I'm a long time watcher, first time buyer.

I found this mask for 48€ in a surplus store, is this a good quality model ? What do I need to know before buying ?

The price doesn't bother me, I found it hard to find gas masks around where I live, I'm mainly concerned about the quality and versatility of the mask

thank you:)

My collection of soviet era masks. (Ignore my cat, curiosity is a known disease)

3 masks in total, ГП-4у, a black ГП-5, ГП-5м. Also got a respirator which looks to be a РПГ-67 of some sort. 4 filters in total and proprietary bags that i found them in when slipping through my local abandoned bomb shelter. Was cleaning them from excess talc and other stuff for about 5 days before putting one on. It's really tight since the size is 2 and my head fits better on 3. The elephant hoses on the left feel like they're new? Don't see no signs of age on them. One of the filters is a beater, would just throw it away but i guess i'll keep it. The elephant does fit on my long hair, though very uncomfortable.

Started my collection on 4/4/2026.. 14 days later..

I think I’ve spent about £600 in 2 weeks.. but I love this collection so much. Waiting on some more polystyrene heads coming soon!

Open to any suggestions about organisation but also waiting on some little flags for each section.
