British Forces 'D-day' lifebelt

Code: MW22270

Inflatable grey rubberized cotton lifebelt with oral inflation tube/valve and various cotton webbing straps/tying tapes to secure around the waist. War department broad arrow markings, 1944 date, and other inspection marks. Some soiling/marking but remains in excellent flexible condition.  The inflation tube has fared less well and although the valve screws/unscrews well, it is hard/rigid.  This type of lifebelt was issued to many of the troops involved in the D-Day landings. Stock code M22270.
