MO-2 filter is next generation of MT-4 filters, ( MT-4 has replaced old Tch filters) the filter was smaller than MT-4 filter and was used in future as the prototype for postwar EO filters with some small changes. The MO-2 filters started to use in RKKA from late of 1942 year. The mask Schm- 1 which means Schlemmaska and will be fully translated as Full-cover-mask, was produced from the end of 1940 year ( was used till 1947 year, and was used as the prototype for SCHM 41 gasmask). The rubber hose without cloth reinforcement are typical for war time production. But both types of hoses was produced in war time, with and without reinforcement
This is the pattern of respirator and filter which I own. I paid £35 / $70 for mine from a Russian friend who came over to our big LH show at Detling last August. I think I got a good deal.
Very quick pics (before my camera batteries die) of my 3 respirator bags.
The detail pics are from the middle bag. Love that black button. I bought this at Stuttgart arms fair for 5 euros. Everyone else was buying Spanish Crosses etc but I was very happy with this bag
