The M62 was a mask designed for the Bundeswehr. It was in use from 1962 till 1965, being replaced by the M65.
Mask[]
The mask features two triangular eyepieces which are made of acrylic glass; these lenses are crimped into place.
Facepieces would be of a brown rubber, the size is embossed with a large letter on the centre of the rubber above the eye lens. Sizes are 1 (large), 2 (medium) 3 (small).
Manufacturers mark and date is stamped on the right hand side inside the facepiece
The facepiece is very similar to the M65, but with a few differences. The masks edges are a bonded rubber thicker than the M65s, and the exhale valve is made out of metal, along with the filter port (compared to plastic in the M65).
The inside is where the most changes are seen. There is no oral-nasal cup as where the M65 has one, instead it has a half type nasal cup that acts as a deflector system.
Kit[]
The bag shown on the pic is an Austrian bag. The bag issued to the German army had a padded part for the filter and a watersealed zipper as closure. With this bag, a small kit has been deployed including a lipstick-like wax-pen and a small tube of vaseline to keep the zipper functionable.
