The panoramic view window may have some yellowing with age. There is a large voicemitter in the center which makes it easier to be understood when talking. These masks are used French military surplus in good condition and come with a sealed 40mm NATO NBC cartridge, the most universal filter for gas masks around the world. Check the other listings to order the size you want. A small would fit most teenagers and petite women, the extra large for those with very big heads or obese individuals. These French gas masks come in four sizes: Small=4, Medium=3, Large=2. Most every website and eBay/Amazon incorrectly identifies these masks as Polish MP5’s. There are a few other differences as well, that’s just the easiest way to spot if they are French or Polish. The Polish MP5 is a licensed copy of the French ANP-VP F1 and can easily be identified by the slotted radial design of the center voicemitter cover, rather than the holes of the French ANP-VP F1 as you can see here.
Everyone misidentifies these as Polish MP5 gas masks, but they are actually a French ANP-VP F1 gas mask.
