| UNIDENTIFIED 1, but seems to be a S.E.C.M.P.prototype? | |
 |
|
| This
mask is similar to the previous Unknown 1 unless the inverted frontpiece,
on which the filter is mounted at the lower place
All other features are identical This mask is a large improvement of the ARS 17 and ANP T 31 and has been probabely designed in cooperation with the French Army as prototype to remplace the ANP T 31. The general layout of this mask seems to be a S.E.C.M.P. design. In his artcle in MILITARIA MAGAZINE, Monsieur LEJAILLE note that this mask was the French Army model T 36. But this mask was never been commissioned and in use in the French Army |

The oval frontpiece includes two Tissot tubes to demist the eyepieces, the exhale valve housing is located at the lower part of the fontpiece. The seven points head harness is made of spring straps as on post WW I ARS 17 mask |
