This is an authenticPolish MP-5
French
military gas mask set complete with a filter and bag. It's known as an "ARF-A" (or ANP VP F1) which in French is short for "Appareil Normal de Protection à Visière Panoramique Mle F1" (English: normal protection apparatus with panoramic visor model F1). We originally thought these were the Polish copy, but it turns out they're the original French model! The two are nearly identical.
The masks are a toxic agent resisting polyurethane in tactical tan color. The panoramic visor is also made of polyurethane. The masks come in good new-old-stock condition. The bags are in good used condition and may be dirty. The masks may come a little cloudy as you can see in the images—this can be cleaned to produce a clear visor. Great for cosplay and replica wear, you can be proud to own a genuine piece of military history.
Please note, the mask lenses may need cleaning from storage ( the residue can be cleaned with baking soda/vinegar mixture. Because these are military surplus, they are sold for costume or collector usage only.
Note: Though these gas masks and filters may function as intended, they have long exceeded their expiration dates. They are sold as a novelty item only. Use at your own risk.
