skoczek443 Posted February 5, 2017 Share #5 Posted February 5, 2017 It's M-17 gas mask from vietnam era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon54 Posted February 5, 2017 Share #6 Posted February 5, 2017 Military issue indeed. We used this mask for a long time. 60's-early 90's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one50 Posted February 5, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 5, 2017 Yup it's military issue for sure. Hence the US on the forehead. The M is size Medium. It's actually called an ABC-M17 But yeah, M17 for short. The M17A1 cam our about 6 years later with changes your mask does not have. The last photo you have shows that little circle with writing in it. The top 2 digits should be the date, hard to see, but is it a 63? This was designed in the late 50's but you don't see them until the early 60's Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byf41 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted February 5, 2017 I got 2 of them In the group , one Firestone 62 and the other DT 63 so I guess those are the dates ? I guess not much resale value then right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon54 Posted February 5, 2017 Share #9 Posted February 5, 2017 Not much value. $20-30. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
