Description

Vintage Royal Yugoslav Army M1 Mask Nebojsa Made In Yugoslavia & Bag
The gas mask
M-1- Nebojša
was the first gas mask completely made in
Yugoslavia
which was intended for both military and civilian use. It was produced in the factory Bata in Borovo, under the license of FM-1a, a Czechoslovakian mask designed and produced by Fatra.
In the later part of the 1930s, Yugoslavia began preparing for an imminent global conflict. Taught by experiences from the First World War, the military leadership of the
Royal Yugoslav Army
decided to develop the gas mask industry, to protect the civilians and army personnel from the effects of poisonous gasses.  In the 1920s Yugoslavia equipped its troops with
gas-masks
imported from France, some of which may have been surplus First World War equipment. A lot of Yugoslav soldiers were equipped with old-fashioned M-33 masks. Considering that, a new high-capacity factory capable of producing up-to-date military equipment was necessary to ensure the replacement of outdated gasmasks.
