BULGARIAN COMMUNIST GAS MASK "BSS-MO-4U", Soviet model

This is a full set USSR model BSS-MO-4u gasmask that is in rarely perfect, never- used condition. This gasmask model was invented by USSR chemistry institute specialists, during the 1950s, and was widely employed in the socialist countries. At first the gasmasks were produced in the USSR, later on they started to manufacture them in Bulgaria, too.
We assume the gasmask we are offering was produced about 1969 in a Bulgarian factory. It has never been used as it is evident from its unwrapped condition and talcum powder for preserving the rubber parts; in fact the white traces that are visible on the gasmask set are the result of the talcum. Here is what the set consists of:
- a tarpaulin gas mask carrier with different compartments for the separate parts of the gasmask set; the shoulder strap can be adjusted, the waist belt can be placed in the side pocket of the bag.
BSS gas masks are available in sizes: 0, 1, 2, and 3 , corresponding to S, M, L and XL.

The gasmask consists of two parts: a breathing BSS-MO-4U part and one intended for the face. The breathing compartment comprises a filter and a coal catalyst Ê-5Ó. BSS-MO-4U has the original factory stamps which make it clear that it was manufactured in 07. 1969; at the one end of the filter is placed a screw cap , whereas the other end is covered by means of a rubber stopper so that the filter is better preserved.
- flexible hose made of rubber
- the rounded piece intended for the eye parts contains mica which is used to prevent the bearer of the mask from sweating
Authentic gasmask is in perfect condition. NEVER USED!!!
