Gas Mask Props

Alright I don't know where to put this so if a mod wants to move it to the proper location thats fine

Anyways for future purposes I would like to purchase a military style gas mask for shots in regards to Post apocalyptic style or Warfare style or cyber goth/punk look. And i am not sure what would be best to work with.
I been wanting one for the past decade or so but always sat in the back of my mind until a friend posted this photo on facebook

Tons of reasons. Just remember if you actually need one to function for whatever reason you will probably need a new filter.

I did notice on one of these i read customer reviews they said they got a bad filter despite it being "brand new".

Most of these masks are surplus, sometimes as old as the 70's or 80's. Filters have a shelf life of like 5-10 years. So the mask is "New" as in it's never been sold or worn. But it's just really old.
