This is a genuine Soviet GP-5 Gas Mask in grey, supplied with its original canvas bag. Please note: filters are not included with this item.
Cold War Civilian Issue
Originally designed in 1962 and produced until 1990, the GP-5 or Гражда́нский Противога́з-5 was issued to protect Soviet citizens against Cold War NBC threats. Today, it stands as a legendary collectible. This is the ultimate addition for historical reenactors and military collectors wanting genuine Soviet civil defence gear.
Helmet-Style Rubber Facepiece
The classic ShM-62 rubber facepiece uses a full-head pull-on design for a secure seal without fiddly straps. Its secure metal bezels house flat, round glass eyepieces for clear visibility, while the base has a 40mm GOST threaded inlet. These are sold as non-functional collectors' items, and should not be used for actual respiratory protection.
Original Canvas Utility Bag
Each mask is supplied in Supergrade unissued condition, featuring a slight white protective powder that easily wipes clean. You also get the original olive green canvas carrying bag, complete with a shoulder strap and utility pockets. It makes a remarkably durable vintage pouch for camping, bushcraft, or unique daily wear.
Add this iconic Soviet civil defence mask to your Cold War collection.
This item was used by the Russian Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
