Mask, Oxygen, Type MS-22001.  Size small.  Developed from the WW2 A-13A, this pressure demand oxygen mask probably dates from 1954 and is fitted with a webbing harness and green plastic exoskeleton.  The rubber is in very good pliable condition.  Other than on the harness retaining lugs, there is no notable cracking but the facepiece does have extensive crazing.  Note that the cheek flanges have not been custom trimmed and remain 'as issued'.  Very good harness but there is minor surface corrosion of metal parts.  The oxygen hose is also very good and fitted with a British type 191A2 connector.  Unwired.  Stock code O26118.
