Vintage Rebreathers

Came into a few vintage military style rebreathers. One French, Canadian and German. Figured I would share some pics. Info welcome.

The orange one looks a lot like the Dräger rebreather used by Hans Hass in the 50's (an extrapolation from Dräger/ Draeger 'Tauchretter' : rebreather designed to escape from submarine).

If you're interested in O2 rebreathers, you should have a look at this facebook page :

French is the main language, but English is welcome.

Thanks!

That's what a forum is for : helping each other. Concerning your units, which picture shows the French one ?

I thought the red one was French. Haven’t had a chance to do much research on them.

Ok, hope you'll let us know when you've learnt more about them.
