Iraqi Bringback M85 Gas Mask With US M40 Bag And Cigarettes

Description

🇮🇶 Iraqi M85 gas mask size medium dated 1986, a licensed clone of the Romanian M85 gas mask, this is a US bringback.
This M85, like I said, is a US bringback and was stored in a US M40 Field Protective Mask bag. In the side pocket of the carrier, there were two used US cigarettes likely used by a Marine or Army soldier, this is shown on the second slide.
The Iraqi M85 was produced from 1986 to 1991 from the Great Mosque of al-Nuri factory by Sa'ad 24, which is now nonexistent as it was demolished during the Gulf War.
This mask has a roman numeral size system in which III is small, II is medium, and I is large.
The only way to differentiate the Iraqi M85 from the Romanian M85 is the Mosul stamp, the lenses being held together by screws as opposed to crimps, the thick peripheral seal, and the much thicker rubber
The filter for this mask is also a licensed clone I believe of a Romanian CF-4 filter, although these clones are completely void of any and all markings, yet this filter has a piece of tape with some slightly faded Arabic writing.
