[camo.collector]

Hello, this early Schwimmweste SWp734 I get this month from the fleamarket for very low price.

Very interesting is the orange bakelit tube at the top of the rubber pipe, never one seen befor!

Very interesting!
I never saw an orange mouth piece.
Also the replaced bakelite connectors for the tube and the CO2 bottle I see for the first time on a SWp 734.
The CO2 bottle also has a bakelite knob although it's a first type bottle.

Can you please make pics of the stamps on the CO2 bottle?
Would be interesting to see the date of it!

Best regards,
Lukas
