Ever since the pandemic started I've been increasingly interested in respiratory protection products, and went from having a surplus Drager M-65 (as a novelty and more of a joke than anything else), to proper Avon FM12 and 3M M40 respirators with P3 filters
How much was those civilian 3M M40s, I hear that he civilian ones cost a lot more money than a military surplus M40.

Mine was 150 bucks which is unheard of for a new in box M40.

Mine came in factory packaging, very clearly unused, that to me was worth the extra cost.
The filter you have is probably expired so I wouldn't trust it for anything other than training purposes.
