Cheers James! I try to go for the best examples where I can, although I am a sucker for a bargain even if there are better examples out there The one you ask of is an early MkIV Service Respirator fitted with an additional EA filter in the centre of the hose. There is thread detailing this mask specifically here, it is quite a rare beast indeed: BEF (British Expeditionary Force) MkIV Respirator

Thanks

Some more pieces from my collection, all based of the Service Respirator No.6 design including some rarities.


Unknown experimental mask, which is based on, or led to the Service Respirator No.6.


Service Respirator No.6


Fred Dodd Project experimental Service Respirator No.6, produced to test a new voice diaphragm design and "reflex" face seal


What would have been the Optical Service Respirator No.8, produced in small numbers and trialled but never entered production.

Thanks
