Description
The M17A2 U.S. Army gas mask is best known for it's heavy use in the Gulf War. When ground fighting in the the Middle-East started, the M17A2 was still the Army's GI standard mask. In 1983, the M17A1 was changed to the M17A2, after an extra small size was introduced. There is no real difference between the M17A1 and M17A2 other than the the drinking tube that was added in the 1970's. Unissued mask. The bag is made of khaki/light olive drab canvas.
