RAF type H oxygen mask

RAF type H oxygen mask

Code: O24093

SOLD

Size medium.  Dated 2-53 (2nd quarter of 1953).  The facepiece retains good overall shape although the lower edge, in particular, is curling inwards.  The rubber is a little grubby but remains very pliable.  There is general light crazing and some cracking on and adjacent to the harness retaining lugs, around the valves etc but the overall appearance is fairly good.  The pearl grey suede lining is complete but soiled/rubbed.  Fitted with a type 57 microphone and a black coloured loom with 2-pin socket, 10H/14207 (microphone assembly type 71).  The webbing harness is a bit grubby but retains elasticity.  Almost identical to a wartime example but significantly cheaper.  A reasonably good used example.  Stock code O24093.
