GREEK 40MM GAS MASK FILTER LIKE NEW

Genuine Greek military-issue 40mm NBC gas mask filter in like-new surplus condition. Originally produced for the Hellenic Armed Forces and pulled from official government stocks, this canister features the standard 40mm NATO threaded connection that fits the vast majority of modern military-pattern gas masks and respirators used worldwide. A strong, high-turn item for shops serving preppers, collectors, reenactors, and military surplus enthusiasts.

Authentic Hellenic Military Issue

Each filter carries its original Greek-language identification label listing part number, lot/serial number, and manufacture and expiry dates. The example shown is marked part number 500-100, produced 02/2002 with a printed shelf-life expiry of 08/2006 — dates will vary from unit to unit as stock rotates. The intake port arrives sealed with the factory-applied safety tape, preserved unopened from military stores.

Built to NBC Specification

Constructed as a combined CBRN/NBC canister, the filter body is a rugged olive-drab steel shell designed to withstand rough field handling. The label describes protection against wartime aerosols, radioactive particulates, and chemical agents including sulfur dioxide and ammonia — original protective performance is only guaranteed within the printed service life stamped on the canister.

Key Features

• Standard 40mm NATO thread — compatible with most military-pattern gas masks
• Genuine Greek military surplus, not a reproduction
• Original Hellenic identification label with part, lot, and date markings
• Factory safety tape still sealing the intake port

Ideal For

• Preppers and survivalists building CBRN kits for display or training

Important note for resale: because printed expiry dates on these canisters have passed, this filter should be sold and used strictly as a collectible, training aid, or display piece — not as certified life-safety respiratory protection. Communicating this clearly to the end customer protects both the retailer and the buyer.
