The ShR-1 (Russian шлем раненого - 'helmet for a wounded person') mask is a Soviet gas mask designed and first produced in the late 1950s for soldiers with head wounds. It was most likely issued to medics and field hospitals. The Polish SzR2-50 is based on this mask.
Overview[]
The facepiece is very similar to the typical Soviet rubber hood masks (ShM-41). The mask has a thicker rubber hood with a thinner neck part and a "pillow" to fix the neck in case of a spine injury. On the back of the mask there are 3 pairs of straps to provide airtight seal. The eyepieces are normal crimped on and a Tissot tube system provides defogging which is not integrated.
Kit[]
According to some sources it was the part of the RSh-4 kit.
