The original Mistral regulator was replaced by the Aquamaster, which was in 
turn replaced by the Royal Aquamaster.  Certain key parts of the Royal 
Aquamaster were common to the USD Conshelf regulators.....at least those of 
the 1970s and early 1980s vintage.
Some rubber parts can be adapted if you're handy with a razor blade.  Others 
are common to other manufacturers.  You might contact Dacor or Cressisub for 
availability of some parts, such as hoses/exhalation valves/mouthpiece 
components.  It wouldn't be stock, but it might work.  You can forget getting 
any parts directly from USD....they're not available at any price.  USD sold 
their entire stock of double hose parts to a mail order repair outfit back 
around 1982-83.
The best thing you could do with it would be to buff the finish off down to 
the brass and mount it on a walnut plaque.  Then hang it on the wall.
