Finnish M/61 gas mask from the Cold War era. Unused and in their original packaging. The canvas gas mask bag is included but not the filter. One-off lot.
M/61 is a Finnish gas mask manufactured from the 60s to the 80s. It was the standard-issue gas mask for the Finnish Defense Forces until it got replaced by the M/95 in the 90s. The filter would be attached to the left side but it isn’t included because asbestos isn’t very nice.
Gas mask bag included
Included in the box is a canvas gas mask bag, which is very usable on its own too.
For collecting
We sell these masks for collecting, not for the intended use. The original filters might be available in the internet for cheap but they likely contain asbestos and being expired, breathing through them might be a risk. Of course if you want to use this as a Santa Claus mask, sex toy, or a prop without a filter, that is highly recommended. The mask is designed for 60 mm threaded filters.
Materials
The gas mask is made of rubber and the goggles “unbreakable” plastic. The leaflet says that the bag is water-resistant canvas, but the material isn’t specified any further.
Condition
Unused Finnish military surplus that was intended for civilian purposes. The whole thing comes in the original cardboard box. So, the condition is as good as decades-old surplus gear can be. Of course, the materials might have acquired some dirt and patina during the long storage time.

This spring, my SO who works as a stablehand, moved in with me. Now, her job is important, because I used to suffer from heavy hayfever caused by grass pollen and part of her job is hauling dried grass, which is sometimes cut when in full bloom. The allergy has been treated with hyposensitization therapy, but I still get symptoms when exposed to certain amounts of grass pollen.
Within a week of her moving in, I was doing laundry and got exposed to a concentrated load of dried grass pollen from her work clothes and immediately began coughing like a Frenchman on April 22nd 1915 in Ypres. I had to think quickly, and a brief exposure to asbestos fibres seemed the preferable fate. Soon after donning the mask, the symptoms subsided and laundry duty was completed successfully. So even after all these years, these masks still work fine.
