Gas Masks – S10 Model
This lot features two S10 gas masks, likely dating from the mid-20th century. These masks are constructed with a rubber facepiece and feature a prominent front port for filter attachment. The design is typical of civil defence and military respirators used during the Cold War era and earlier conflicts. The masks are designed to provide protection against airborne contaminants, including chemical and biological agents.
Condition & Collectibility
These gas masks appear to be in used condition, showing signs of age and wear consistent with their likely history. The rubber components may exhibit some cracking or deterioration, and the straps may be brittle. Despite this, they remain interesting examples of protective equipment and would appeal to collectors of military memorabilia, civil defence items, or vintage medical equipment.
