There were two types of rubber used for the 51M. The one you have is nearly the same as the Soviets used during the war. And there are some models which feature a rubber similar to the one used on the 70M, however these are melted usually. The reason the 51M is so rare is not the rubber. They weren't reated well in the past years. First the army used them then they were passed down to the Civil Defence, and then when later they got the 60M and the 70M most were given to the industry. And the industry uses masks till they break. This was 20 years before the regime change, so the industry had 20 years to ruin them. And don't forget that an average 51M is 10-20 years older than an average 60M and about 30 years older than an average 70M.
Hi Robert. Great video as ever, Seems like finding a 51M in great condition is almost impossible. Looks like it will be a case of finding the one with the last damage like your own. Thanks for all the great info and love the poster.
Good educational video! I am on the lookout for one and this video was very good reference point I have a few contacts in Hungary who are on the lookout for one! Great videos I subscribed!

Where and how to get helmet-style gas masks and working, modern filters for them?
This gas mask is like Shm 1 the soviet gas mask from 1943
No shit sherlock? This is literally the entire video
There's an Albanian copy of the ShM-41?
There is a high chance
Hungary is soviet
