Offered for auction is this U.S. Army M-24 AVIATION GAS MASK and CASE. I have seen many gas masks, but not many AVIATION ones like this!
This was used by a officer in a Helicopter Unit in both Kuwait & Bosnia during the 1990's.
There is an equipment inspection & maintenance worksheet included in the case, which is dated December 15, 1996. It identifies it as a Mask, Chemical Pro M-24, and that it was used with Company C 111th Aviation Regiment. This man was part of the Florida Army National Guard in Service there during the 1990's.
The mask is attached to a canister with straps. The mask has a full head hood & the radio cord which extends out of the front of the mask.
The carrying case has 2 straps. There is a red tag attached to the case with the number "3".
The Mask & Canister are in VERY GOOD CONDITION!!! The case shows wear from use. The guy said he carried it everywhere he flew in both Bosnia & Kuwait!
A Nice Piece of Field Equipment for your Military Collection.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
