M1 gas mask

The M-1 was a standard issue gas mask for troops in Yugoslavia, as well as for SFRY successor states. This respirator was only available until 2005, therefore, the filters are said to have had a limited working lifetime assigned. It is a copy of the U.S. M-9 gas mask. It was also used by the Iraqi army in the Gulf War, where it was designated M-59. It is olive green in color, and has a side-loading canister which uses a 60mm opening. There are different versions of the mask, MC-1, M-1 and the M-59. The filter doesn't have asbestos, but contains chromium.
The M-1 was manufactured by Trayal.
