The M/62 was a Finnish civilian respirator and successor of the WW2 M/39 gas mask.
Overview[]
The M/62 gas mask kit was originally issued in a large carboard box. Inside is a rubber face piece which attaches at the back via an adjustable harness. Also inside the box is a 40mm filter sealed in a plastic bag, a lens cleaning cloth, a comprehensive instruction manual and a clear thick resealable plastic carrier.
This mask consists of a thin rubber faceblank, with circular plastic eyepieces and 40mm DIN inlet-outlet assembly on the snout, which sports an inlet valve with a tissot deflector and an exhale valve around that. The straps which hold it to the head of the user are elasticated.
