POLISH R.S.C. MODEL 24 GAS MASK IN A METAL CAN
Can length: 20 cm
Polish R.S.C. model 24 gas mask with an absorber and a “short French” type metal carrying can.
The canister retains its original paint with minimal chipping. Carrying straps included; the long strap is damaged.
Facepiece with a complete set of straps. The eyepiece is undamaged; the rubber is stiff.
The filter housing has its original cap and fully preserved paint coating. Visible ink stamps: “SRP 1939” and, on the side, “FILIA No. 1 G.S.U. No. 1.” The protective cardboard backing for the filter is preserved on the underside.
The R.S.C. was the first type of gas mask produced in Poland after regaining independence. It was manufactured starting in 1925 under a French license as a further development of the A.R.S. 1917 (Appareil Respiratoire Spécial). The name R.S.C. comes from the surnames of its designers: Robert, Saunier, and Cantot.
