RAF 1941 Patt. Mae West Inflation Lever

SOLD

Code: SOLD-243




Chromed metal @APOS@lever@APOS@ used to operate the CO2 cartridge within the bladder (stole). The inflation lever consists of a @APOS@J@APOS@ shaped handle that pivots between lugs on the lever body, a locknut, and an adaptor, or sleeve, with a cutaway skirt. The CO2 cylinder is screwed into this assembly and secured within the bladder using a hose clip around the base of the lever assembly. Air Ministry and King@APOS@s Crown stamped. Excellent condition. Comes with an earlier style straight sided CO2 gas cylinder (empty/discharged). There is just sufficient copper thread remaining to enable this to be connected to the lever assembly.
