WW2 RAF G-TYPE OXYGEN MASK - Sz MEDIUM

WW2 RAF G-TYPE OXYGEN MASK. A nice used example of the ever-popular and desirable G-type oxygen masks. As issued to RAF and Commonwealth aircrew during WW2.

A good used example of the iconic RAF G-type oxygen mask. The rubber of the mask is soft and pliable, with no major cracking or splits we can see. There is some light cracking around the edges and the usual stress points of the nose, nose wire, and harness retaining wire, but they are not too bad and are to be expected in 80-year-old rubber. The nose wire and harness retaining wire are both in place, with all the small rubber tabs in good condition, with some surface cracking. The elasticated harness is again in good condition, complete with hook and press stud attachments, fully adjustable without any issues we can see. The mask is fitted with a nice and clean Type-48 microphone, without issues or damage, just some wear to the paint. Inside, the mask has a lightly soiled chamois lining showing light wear and use. It also appears the original wearer has made a hole for more direct inhalation from the oxygen tube. The bottom side of the mask is marked with A.M. in the rubber moulding and marked as a size "MEDIUM". Overall, a good mask that would display well with a flying helmet. Ideal for any RAF museum, collection, or display.
