| O 39 ( Occhiale maschera ) Optical gas mask ( 1939 ) | |
![]() |
The
facepiece of this mask is similar to the T 33 / 35 masks but has small
eyepieces for the use of optical instruments.
The facepiece design makes to have the mask very close to the face, the mouth, just in front of the exhale valve, allowing the use of an external microphone. The mask has an rubber corrugated breathing hose directly mounted on the facepiece. The common military filter is screwed on the hose end. The mask illustrated is equiped with a M 42 Pirelli filter. The
mask is carried in a bag equiped with a shoulder strap.
