Hi guys,I have the same gas mask and bag in very good order,How did it get to New Zealand?.
My parents bought a house some years ago and the gas mask and bag were hanging in the shed.

Hi Kenny, welcome to the forum!

With the break up of the former Soviet Union, many gas masks were sold as surplus back in the early 1990's.

Cheers, Ade.

The gas mask you have is a GP4, and by the looks of things it looks like its been pulled out of one of the old warehouses that are full of them Nice selection of finds.
