UITVERKOCHT / SOLD
Betaalwijzes

The M-1 dust respirator was issued during WWII to vehicle drivers and to troops in areas such as North Africa in order to prevent the inhalation of dust or sand. It was usually used with goggles to protect the eyes as well. Note that this was not designed for NBC protection and will provide no protection whatsoever against NBC agents- it was meant for large particles such as dust and sand only. The harness is a simple four-point system which is adjustable- but not easily adjusted while on the head. It was most likely intended to be adjusted beforehand. The faceblank is covered with the dust filter, and it's channelled through an internal inhale valve. The exhale valve, which can be seen on the mask, is directly below the filter-clad inhale valve.
