Thank you!
Glad you also like it!

One question: What could the "c" mean behind the HM5 marking?

Best regards,

Weren't these with forehead strap more associated with pilot bombers???

Thanks for your comment!

You are right for later in war.

But early in war and pre war also fighter pilots wore LKp S100 and LKp W100 with the 3 strap oxygen masks.

Another collector also told me, that the HM5/HM15 was the previous model of the 10-69 two strap mask.

Also see the picture attached of an Me109 pilot.
