Antique rebreather for sale

Kamikaze · 21st June 2007, 19:23

Hello,

I own an OLD rebreather that came out of a military museum in the mountains of western North Carolina. The museum had it as part of a SEAL display for 3 years before moving and reducing display numbers.

I understand that it WAS used by the US Navy at one point. It has hand painted USN ID numbers on it. I am also under the impression that it was French made. At least the mouth piece is labeled "EG-67 E. Godel France"

I do not know if it is still functional. It does have some dry-rot on the mouth piece strap. The hoses seem solid.

If anyone can give me more information about this equipment, whether or not you are interested, it would be greatly appreciated.

It is sold, but information would still be interesting....

Thanks.

Kamikaze, have a look at the post/thread from Phil Nuytten, he was looking for vintage rebreathers. He isn't very active here, so i would contact him through his website.

Good luck.
