RAF Type E* Oxygen Mask & Tube

SOLD

Code: SOLD-1440



Stores Ref. 6D/624. This is the later pattern variant of the E-mask complete with anti-suffocation/inspiratory valve and having an elasticated webbing harness. The rubber is in excellent condition with no evidence of perishing, cracks or stress crazing. Even the edges of the mask are very good with no apparant loss of rubber. The overall shape of the mask is also very good. The chamois inner edging is complete and reasonably clean. The harness remains complete, has some elasticity but is faded. The press-studded leather section is very good. The mask is fitted with an excellent type 48 microphone assembly and the correct narrow diameter corrugated rubber oxygen tube. The tube has cracking within the folds but is in sound condition complete with the MK.IV bayonet connector/crocodile clip (some surface corrosion). Very good @APOS@+@APOS@ / excellent used condition overall. Please note that this mask is guaranteed 100% original and should not be confused with the @APOS@hybrid@APOS@ masks being offered elsewhere that have original metalwork and harnesses but brand new rubber facepieces. Stock code O14715.
