🇺🇸 Navy Diaphragm Mark V Gas mask dated the first week of November 1955 by D.T. (possibly Daytona Tire and Rubber)
This example of a pre-finalized example of the Mk.V Gas mask is quite deteriorated. There is major cracking and lacerations in the rubber.
The C-1 filters for this mask are quite worse for wear. They are dated January of 1956 by General Tire Rubber company and are very damaged.
The carrier for this mask is a standard first generation Mark V gas mask bag. It is in great condition.
The head harness seems to be a DT example yet again and is in much better condition than the other example I own. These seem to be much better than the later examples.
