auction for old pilot mask set from 50s-+GAS MASK SET Full 100% vintage and originall or money back Developed right after the WW2, KM-16 series of masks was almost, if not excatly, an excat copy of the German Luftwaffe's oxygen mask used during the war. This is easy to see when someone starts comparing early KM-16 versions to the original Luftwaffe design. At the first glance, KM-16A looks just like the original Luftwaffe mask. Connection to the helmet clearly has German roots - mask has two small elastic straps with metal rounded off hooks located on both sides of the mask. Oxygen hose is made out of rubber and while it looks like the hose on the German mask, Russians started to experiment with similar hoses in mid 1930s so it might be an original design. Oxygen hose connector is a bit different, though looks like it could be interchangable with connectors used on later Soviet masks. Located on the right side of the mask is a small oval stamp with "KM-16A" written inside. Left side has a similar stamp, but instead of the name of the mask it carries a 3 digit number (unfortunately I do not know what it stands for). On the nose is yet another stamp, this time it's round and filled with circles of smaller diameter. On the inside, in the nose area, is a stamp with circled number 1 - most likely this refers to the size of mask. Below, read more
