RAF 1941 pattern Mae West CO2 inflation cylinder

Code: MW27196

SOLD

CO2 cylinder, Type C, 8 gramme.  Stores reference 22c/94.  Second pattern CO2 gas inflation bottle with a pinched 'waist' section designed to even out the gas flow on release.  Used with the stole within the 1941 pattern life-saving waistcoat (Mae West).  The cylinder remains 'live'/sealed and has a hollow copper plug with an integral partly bored threaded stem projecting from the neck of the cylinder.  This thread allows the cylinder to be screwed into an inflation lever.  The original 'blued' finish is very good and overall condition is excellent. Marked with Tare weight.  Now extremely difficult to find.  Available to UK customers only.  Ideally this should be collected in person or posted entirely at your risk (different payment arrangements required).  Stock code MW27196.

This item is only available for collection.
