Hello could anyone Please tell what the going rate is for a Russian M08 Gasmask and how rare are they?
they are difficult to get now, most were sadly cut up after the war I seen one on ebay sell for £60.00 (I think) but that was a great bargain. Heres a link to one of my gas mask collecting friends website: LMàG © 2007 its $500.00 USD for each type, but it depends how much you want it.
heres the ebay auction for the one of the masks: WWII Soviet Russia Macka-08 M-08 Gas Mask gasmask RARE! on eBay, also Original Period Items, WW II 1939-45, Militaria, Collectibles (end time 07-Jul-09 19:34:25 BST)
You mean Mod 08, it's not a M08. I would say just a bag for that mask will be approx 250 USD, it's not a easy-to-find item.
The true history from WW2: one NCO was shot by court due of his unit get lost 6 masks, during the battle...
6x500= 3000 USD, not a big money for a life

Also the ebay lot has not proper bag for BN Tch mask, and also to get that money he need to make a proper inscription and photos, even from that pictures I can't say is it 08 or MOD 08, take a look here BN TCH gasmask of RKKA 1937- 1942

the one on ebay is an 0-8. it has stamping on the bottom left beside where the strap joins the mask. The front of the mask is also not as "big" as on the MOD 0-8.
Heres the £65.00 one that sold a short time ago: WW2 Soviet Russian Red Army Gas Mask .Rare , on eBay, also Gas Masks, World War II 1939-1945, Militaria, Collectables (end time 06-Jun-09 22:58:40 BST)
The last one is MOD 08 mask with BS filter wich is wrong, but IMO is bargain even for mask

I'll try to focus on the filters and carriers a bit more now, when he just said gas mask, thats what I thought he was after becasue he didnt mention anything about carriers and filters.
Hello Guys thank you for your replys it helps alot , i will just have to keep looking , all the best, Jan
Hello, while this thread is totally dead. Mod8s aren’t that valuable. There’s one for sale for 150 for just the facepiece. So 250 for just the bag is total rubish. Soviet WW2 PPE value has shot up due to espenlaub and misinformed collectors thinking that they are super expensive and rare. While in reality ShM1s and O8s pop up frequently on the market. Just many people turn a blind eye to those smaller sellers. And go overpay from espenlaub were they are super overpriced and people actually start to believe that’s the value of the mask. Meanwhile it’s much lower. Raul
