Zika, while obviously different is very similar in size again, size is the important factor here. The size (this is the important part to remember) is a length of approximately 970nm and a diameter of approximately 80nm. What are viruses such as Ebola or Zika? Yes, we know a virus is a little “bug” that does horrible things to people, but what is it really? Ebola is a member of the Filoviridae family of viruses and is a single stranded RNA type. In light of the current emerging threat of multiple maladies such as Ebola, Zika and the ever present Swine/Bird flues, I feel it is important to discuss certain aspects of personal protection what is effective, what is not effective and the precautions the average person can take.īefore I delve into the meat of this topic it is important to get a bit of science out of the way. CBRN stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear. What most people call a gas mask is actually a CBRN (formerly known as NBC) Protective Mask or Pro Mask in military terms. The term gas mask is in itself a misnomer.

Comes from a Smoke-Free and Pet-Free home. Another reason is because after the war, bags are still obviously very usable for other things where-as a gas mask is well, it’s a gas mask so the bags get used until they fall apart where-as a gas mask would just be stored away. I suspect it’s because the bag doesn’t seem to have been produced until 1938 where-as the mask started the bulk of it’s production in 1937 so there are just fewer bags than the masks. The bag may seem like something that always comes with the mask but that’s just not the case, this proper style of bag for it is actually rarer than the mask itself. This specific listing is for one of only a handful of these masks on US soil and this listing being with the proper bag designed for the mask, I believe it’s the only correct / original pairing on US soil. However that comes with a grain of salt because the Netherland’s government has recently banned the export of these old era of masks due to the materials used in the production which has effectively made them nearly impossible to acquire now. The masks are even rare in the origin country (Netherlands) but they’re much easier to find there compared to the rest of the world. The Model F and the Model G are two of the more sought after masks of the series as they’re some of the most visually appealing masks of the series and there is never been another mask that even remotely looks similar. The Model series is typically very sought after because the Dutch were always unique with their designs, almost every mask in the series takes on a unique construction that’s unlike any other country. Most of the beginning models only have one or two known surviving examples and some Models don’t even have any known surviving examples at all just text documentation. With the exception of the last used Model K (due to long period of usage and massive production) every other model in the Dutch Model series are all excessively rare masks and the earlier they are in the series, the more quite literally impossible they are to find. Being the nature of close connection between the two, it’s assumed that the Model G design was already started after the Model F (1933) but wasn’t actually finalized and produced for actual issuance until early 1937. The Model F had excessive design flaws so it appears that the Model G was a corrected version of the Model F. Genuine WWII General Dutch Issue in Excellent condition!
