c7zx Posted August 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2018 Hello, I thought I would share my latest acquisition. The auction photos didn't show enough details to help me in identification but I took a chance hoping that this was an early MS-22001 Oxygen Mask based on the black straps that looked identical to the ones I've seen on an A-15 prototype mask (NIB) that I have and is dated 1945. The mask arrived and now I can share more details : MSA / TYPE A-13 / SIZE MEDIUM / ORDER. NO. 30-05344-12277 / SPEC. NO. 3165 / FOR USE ONLY WITH DEMAND REGULATOR. All my research always leads me to an article in Sweeting's book Combat Flying Equipment and just a few images on Google. Everything I see matches up with what I've read. Can someone with more knowledge of early oxygen masks shed some light on what I have found? Any info greatly appreciated, c7zx. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
