RAF Type E* oxygen mask, complete with hose and Type 26 microphone assembly.

 

Scarce original RAF Type E* (E-star) oxygen mask in unissued condition, fitted with its correct, original, narrow gauge tube/hose with bayonet connector and clip, and a full length wiring loom (Type 26 microphone assembly) including the receivers and bell plug. While this mask looks amazing (and it is, actually) the rubber has stiffened up somewhat - though fortunately it is in no way misshapen or deformed and fits a display head perfectly. The chamois face protector is clean and soft. In spite of the rubber being stiff, the mask displays very well indeed. Priced according to condition, so quite a bargain!

AAF aircraft-mounted oxygen stowage case with box for A-14 mask.

 

One of numerous different styles of oxygen mask stowage bags and cases, presumably designed and manufactured by the respective aircraft factories. This OD green canvas case is fitted to the issue box for an A-14 mask (box and card insert included but no mask). Closure with standard snap fasteners and it mounts to the interior of the cabin or cockpit by means of two lift-the-dot fasteners. â€‹

Stencilled OXYGEN MASK CARRIER on the front with the name "MIZZ" inked on top. Shows honest use and wear. A great display item. Mask box is dated December 1944.

RAF Type D oxygen mask, early production.

 

Lovely, well used example of this rare and iconic mask as used by RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain. The wool outer shell has some restoration/repairs, mostly to the right hand side and top of the nose area. These are generally well done by gluing some pieces of near identical wool  in damaged areas. I would estimate 10-15% of the mask body is affected but the repairs are not obvious without a close inspection. The chamois interior is very grubby but not damaged. In all other respects an honest mask which displays very well. This pattern is generally considered of early production, having a linen lining forward of the horseshoe shaped pad at the front. D masks remain one of the rarest and most desirable items of RAF flying kit.​

USN aircraft Oxygen Mask Stowage Case, named.

 

Green canvas stowage bag, 10.5" x 3.5", semi-circular with 3 lift-the-dot snaps/press studs for mounting inside the aircraft cabin/cockpit to store the oxygen mask when not in use. Shows use but no wear or damage and is named to "F.J. Bernstein VP-29 Crew". VP-29 was a patrol squadron established in 1948 and disbanded in 1950, though 

operational under other designations since 1935 (so this bag may well have been in use earlier). Navy aircraft kit is quite scarce.

RARE RAF Type D oxygen mask end cap.

​

Scarce accessory for the rare RAF Type D oxygen mask. This is the chamois covered alloy cap with a hinge that attached to the front of the Type D oxygen mask as issued. This was used when the mask was worn for oxygen only, without communications. A hard-to-find accessory. Excellent condition,

RARE wide rubber corrugated oxygen mask tube for Air Gunners and aircrew flying in exposed positions.

 

Rare wartime issue wide oxygen mask tube which was specifically for issue to air gunners and those flying in crew positions exposed to the elements, to alleviate freezing. These were marked with a white band to ease of recognition in stores etc. The wider tube was eventually adopted for all crew positions later in the war. These early banded tubes are quite rare. Tube has minor stress creases in the corrugations and slight deformity at the mask end but no damage. Overall very good condition.

RAF Type Q oxygen mask with insulated tube and chain attachments.

 

A very good RAF Type Q oxygen mask (the Types P and Q were the exact same mask, just 2 different sizes, with Q being the smaller). Mask body is good, pliable black rubber with a resin exoskeletal housing, fitted with microphone, cord and plug. It uses the standard locking chain mechanism for attaching to the helmet. Rubber has one minor split on the inside of the face-piece but this does not show on display. Fitted with a green rubber corrugated hose which has an insulated inner tube to prevent freezing. Early P and Q masks are becoming more and more difficult to source, especially in good condition.

RAF A-13A pressure breathing oxygen mask for early jets.

 

Interesting early example of the RAF issue

A-13A pressure demand oxygen mask which is actually a modified US made mask (later examples were made in the UK under licence from MSA). After trials with the Type J and M masks, the RAF decided the US made masks were superior and used them as interim while the P and Q masks were under development. Condition is very good indeed; the rubber facemask is superb, tube is excellent and all fittings and hardware are present. As is often the case, some of the plastic edging to the microphone switch assembly has chipped away but this doesn't affect the function in any way. A very good example.

Please note: the US mask helmet clip seen in some of the photos is NOT included! It got caught up in the strap by accident while photographing the mask!

Early fast jet RAF oxygen mask, Type M-2.

​

One of the early jet age RAF masks which was issued for a very brief time and ultimately dropped in favour of the US A-13A mask. Black rubber mask body complete with tube and extension hose for attaching to the pressure jerkin. Mask is in good shape, the rubber nice and pliable, but some slight wear and a small tear to the interior skirt where the rubber is very thin, and the maleable nose wire protrudes very slightly at the top of the mask. That said, these are minor issues and the mask displays very well. Fitted with correct harness and clip and tagged for RAF stores. Excellent for early-mid 1950s Cold War exhibit.

Box of 2 unused filter canisters for WWII USN MSA oxygen rebreather kit dated 1943.

​

A scarce accessory for the US Navy rebreather apparatus carried in most USN aircraft for use with the Type C oxygen mask and others. These filters mount on the side of the apparatus and contained charcoal for filtering out CO2 during the rebreathing process. Two original and unopened canisters contained in their original manufacturer's packing box as issued, USN property marjed and dated July 1943. The boxes evidently got damp at some point and there is surface rust on the green canisters which has stained the paper labels, however the labels are intact and still legible.

RAF face-defenders for B helmet/D mask.

​

"Face-defenders", so-called because they protected the face from "freezer-burn" when coming into contact with the inner press stud fasteners on the B helmet and D mask when flying at high altitudes. These were usually sewn to the edges of the D mask into the appropriate position for a snug fit of the mask. This pair show use but are almost a perfect match - one with clear Air Ministry crown and stores ref. information. Would be the perfect companion for the D mask offered for sale!

​

Black rubber hose, approx. 52" in length, with screw-in connections at each end for extending the length of the breathing tube on the MSA Type C oxygen mask from the mask to the delivery canister / oxygen source. Unissued and unused, couple of depressions in the rubber but totally flexible and still retains a great MSA label attached. Excellent condition.
