Description
11/5/26 - For sale is a U.S. M40 field protective mask made by MSA, complete with its olive drab carrier. The M40 was adopted in the early 1990s to replace the M17 series and remained the standard Army and Marine Corps mask until the M50 replaced it in the late 2000s. This example has the gray silicone facepiece molded with "US" on the forehead and marked MSA, with the amber lens outsert fitted over the single wide lens, front and side voicemitters, the drinking tube, and the black elastic head harness. A C2 canister is threaded on the side and is marked with its NSN and lot number. The carrier has its shoulder strap, waist strap and clip hooks, and the clear ID window on the flap holds a card with the handwritten date "9 Jun 98" and a signature. The facepiece is clean and flexible, and the carrier shows light field wear with some frayed edges on the strap. This is sold as a collectible display piece, not for actual protective use.
