A museum quality reproduction Type D oxygen mask produced by Steve Silburn. Superb attention to detail with accurate cloth and a chamois lining interfaced with calico, a stiffener and rod solder above the 'nose'. The microphone mounting ring is stamped with the stores reference number 6D/117 and has a sprung loaded brass hinge at the bottom to accomodate all microphone variants for the mask. A sprung loaded retaining pin at the top secures the microphone (when fitted). This example has also been fitted with a pair of reproduction 'face protectors' in order to secure the mask to a Type B helmet. This is the same as those masks supplied to the RAF Museum, Imperial War Museum Duxford and for the recent film 'Dunkirk'. There is paint loss and a little corrosion on the microphone mounting ring and the lining has soiling to make it appear even more realistic. An excellent display piece at a fraction of the cost of an original. Stock code O27363.
