Up for your bidding consideration is an excellent WWII US NAVY Desco Buccaneer B-Lung. This rebreather is offered in exceptional condition for its age. The rubber is soft and pliable. The fabric is in excellent condition with some spots and marks here and there. The mask lens has very minimal marking and is in superb condition. The steel tank shows it's first hydrostatic stamp in 1944. It also has the US stamp on the tank, as you would expect to find on US NAVY WWII equipment. The set includes the original modular weight belt which is also in amazing shape. This complete set is in such great shape, it certainly wasn't used much. The B-Lung had two different types of masks, the earlier had a bump out in the lens for the wearers nose which this set features. The later models featured a refitted Jack Browne Mask. Certainly this model is the rarer of the two. The auction includes the original pair of steel wrenches used to secure the mask and adjust the valves. There is also a bag with a few spare parts that will be included. See link below on Desco website for additional information./mixed_gas_and_rebreathers.htm#DESCO_RebreathersThis set will be shipped via USPS. Insurance will need to be obtained by the buyer ().
