Russian/Soviet Шлем Маска Мало Габаритный (ШМГ)

The Russian/Soviet Шлем Маска Мало Габаритный (ШМГ) was the mask included with the Противогаз Мало Габаритный (ПМГ) kit. It featured small round eyepieces for use with optical devices, a central speech diaphragm, and its filter attached directly to the cheek. This example was made in Saratov in 1977.

Шлем Маска Мало Габаритный (ШМГ) = "Compact Helmet Mask (ShMG)"
