Dutch gasmasks


K-mask:
The second mask I bought. An oldie from the 50’s and 60’s. The design of the attachment for the filter is very remarkable, looks a little like the old WW2 French masks. Medium comfort to wear: it’s fogging up easily.

C3 mask
Whoopy, very nice mask, Canadian origin. I have seen several TV programmes about the dutch army where soldiers were training with these masks.  The dutch army has recently replaced the C3 with the Avon FM12.

FM12
Sometimes you enter a surplus store and are the luckiest guy in the world. I do not think these new masks are easy to obtain, but I was lucky. The mask is very comforable in wearing.
