R.A.F. E* Type Oxygen Mask
SOLD
Code: SOLD-1271
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 generally in excellent condition and very supple although there is minor stress cracking where the microphone is secured and very slight deterioration around the edges in places. No loss of rubber at the edges. The overall shape is very good. The chamois inner edging is complete and clean. The harness remains complete but is quite faded and has lost most of its elasticity. The press-studded leather section is very good. The mask is fitted with an excellent type 26 microphone wired to a good mid tan external wiring loom having a light purple fleck througout and an early brown cased bell jackplug. A very small section of the original oxygen tube remains attached. Very good @APOS@+@APOS@ overall. Helmet used for display purposes only and is not included in the sale. 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. The microphone and loom may have been added to the mask as some point but again, are 100% original items. Stock code O18317.
