About this item
An original RAF G Type Oxygen Mask dating from the Second World War which comes complete with its original external wiring loom and receivers.
This pattern of oxygen mask was introduced into service in 1942 and stayed in use until late 1944 when it was replaced by the H Type Oxygen Mask making this a guaranteed wartime item. The mask is made from green rubber and is fitted with a Type 48 microphone which has the stores reference of 10A/12570 etched onto the front. The 10A marked rubber dust ring is still present to the outside of the microphone and the original harness is also intact. The bottom of the mask is marked 'small' and also bears the Air Ministry 'AM' marking which suggests it was made before 1944.
The mask displays well but shows signs of age and wear, as they often do. The rubber is in good condition overall although one of the mounting points for the nose wire is broken as illustrated in the pictures. There is some cracking etc to the rubber and the interior is soiled from wear but overall it is a nice example which displays well. The copper wire nose clip is still in place which is a nice feature as these are often missing or broken. Please take time to study the pictures provided and bear in mind that it is a vintage item which may have small issues commensurate with age.
The mask comes complete with its original external wiring loom as used in the early part of the Second World War before the introduction of the internal loom. It is in good condition with some signs of use and age, and overall it displays well. It is fitted to an original set of RAF Type 32 headphone receivers which bear the Air Ministry AM and crown marking along with the stores reference number 10a/13466. The other end of the loom features the correct pattern of bell pug.
A good original WW2 RAF Oxygen mask which would make a nice addition to any aviation collection which is ready to be paired with a flying helmet.
This is a vintage item which is 'sold as seen'
