Ever noticed that some vintage scuba regulators, like the DW Mistral and DA Aqua-Master, lack serial numbers? Here’s why:

Early Production Runs: In the late 1950s, models such as the DW Mistral and initial DA Aqua-Masters were produced without serial numbers. This practice was common during their early manufacturing phases.

Transition to Serial Numbers: By 1959, U.S. Divers began stamping serial numbers on the DA Aqua-Master labels, starting from 200000. This shift helped in tracking production and servicing.

Identifying Production Eras: The presence or absence of a serial number can indicate the regulator’s production period:

No Serial Number: Typically from the initial production years (late 1950s).

With Serial Number: Generally from 1959 onwards.

Understanding these nuances offers a glimpse into the evolution of scuba equipment manufacturing. www.vintagescubagear.com.au #vintagescubagear #historicaldivesociety #vintagescubadiving #vintagescuba #history #information #collect #collection #jacquescousteau #marktozer #marktozerdiveforcancer #ocean #sea #water #reef #fish #aqualung #aqualungdivers #usdivers #vintage #underwater #underwaterphotography #learning #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #scubadive #skindiver

The Siebe Gorman Mistral Regulator, produced from

The Siebe Gorman Mistral Regulator, produced from 1956 to 1972, was a single-stage downstream double-hose regulator. Siebe Gorman built it under license from La Spirotechnique, the French company that designed the original Mistral regulator. While similar to the French model, it included unique modifications for British manufacturing.

Collectors and vintage diving enthusiasts seek this historical scuba regulator. Although Siebe Gorman introduced several modifications, the company never documented them. The regulator’s external design remained unchanged, making it difficult to distinguish early versions from later models. https://www.vintagescubagear.com.au/product/siebe-gorman-mistral-regulator-1956-1972/ #scuba #scubadiving #scubadive #scubadiver #vintage #history #historic #historical #collectibles #collection #collect #museum #marktozer #marktozerdiveforcancer #beach #beachlife #jacquescousteau #historicaldivesociety #usa #siebegorman #london #old #dive #ocean #waves #sea #water #shipwreck #underwater
