This
mask has been designed for Civilian Defense. It is the sole known Russian
mask to be without a hood unless actual, post sovietic production.
The facepiece is a flat rubber moulding, without Tissot tubes, the glass eyepieces are tightened on the mask bycrimped rings. The breathing hose is directly monted on the steel frontpiece casing, the exhale valve is located at its bottom. A large filter is screwed at the end of the long hose. The mask I show is unfortunately partially destroyed
