An original Royal Air Force H Type oxygen mask and hose which was made in 1966. 

The mask is the standard H Type which was introduced into service at the end of 1944, replacing the earlier G Type mask. It is fitted with a type 57 microphone and standard webbing harness. The mask is dated January 1966 and although it is just war dated, it is identical to those issued during the Second World War making it an ideal stand-in. The mask is in reasonable condition with the rubber still being supple with no serious damage or cracking. 

The hose is in good condition and is still soft and pliable with no serious cracking or damage. The tube features the brass MK IV adapter which is Air Ministry marked and features the plain steel crocodile clip, all of which is correct for WW2 issue. 

A nice original example of a wartime pattern oxygen mask, complete with its matching hose. This would make a nice addition to any RAF collection.
