Correction

[edit]

This is a m/38 gas mask, not a m/39. There is a m/39 gas mask but that is a wholly different model, a simpler "People's gas mask" (Väestönaamari m39) which is of the "helmet type" that covers the whole head which was to be used by civil defense units that didn't get the m/38 or imported Belgian/Czechoslovakian masks in 1940. 130.232.214.10 13:38, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Väestönaamari m39.JPG was located just next to this mask, and the objects were not very clearly labeled so I made the assumption that they were both m39. I will change the description. MKFI (talk) 14:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
