Airstream and the serial number can be found on the body of the regulator.
The regulators, manufactured Taiwan, were sold at authorized Diving Unlimited International dealers nationwide and online at www.divegearexpress.com and https://www.divedui.com/ from February 2017, through June 2017, for about $500.
