Polish MP4 Gas Mask

Polish Army MP4 Gas Mask

The MP4 is a full-face respirator issued to the Polish Army. It is a single-piece rubber facepiece that covers the face, chin and sides of the head, with twin eyepieces, a front speaking diaphragm and a filter port on each cheek. This set comes as an issue kit with the canvas carry bag, shoulder strap, spare lenses and accessories shown, so it suits collectors, Eastern Bloc kit builders and reenactors who want the full outfit rather than a bare mask.

Features

• Molded Rubber Facepiece — The body is one piece of grey-green rubber that wraps around the face and lower head for a broad sealing surface.
• Twin Eyepieces — Two large teardrop lenses sit in pale rigid frames for a wide forward view.
• Speaking Diaphragm — A round perforated cover at the mouth houses a voicemitter, a thin membrane that lets speech pass through the mask more clearly.
• Dual Cheek Filter Ports — A threaded port on each side of the mask lets the filters mount at the cheeks instead of out front.
• Adjustable Head Harness — Green fabric straps with metal buckles cross over the head and meet at a woven rear pad, so the fit can be tightened at several points.
• Spare Lens Set — Two replacement eyepiece lenses in matching frames are included in the kit.
• Anti-Fog Compound — A small labeled jar of anti-fog treatment comes with the set for keeping the lenses clear.
• Canvas Carry Bag — An olive drab canvas bag with a snap-down flap, webbing loops, D-rings and metal clip hooks holds the mask and its parts.
• Detachable Shoulder Strap — An olive webbing strap with snap hooks at both ends clips to the bag for over-the-shoulder carry.

Polish Army Issue

This is original Polish military issue, built to the army's own pattern, with the cheek-mounted filter layout that separates the MP4 from most Western masks. The set pairs the mask with its issued bag, strap, spare lenses and anti-fog jar, which gives a display or reenactment loadout an authentic, matched look. For anyone collecting Cold War respirators, the MP4 fills the Polish entry in the lineup.
