Narrative:
I was called at home and told that company maintenance had disclosed that our flight had its oxygen shut off internally by maintenance. So I can tell you that on my usual pre-flight; I turned on the [crew oxygen] O2 with the cockpit switch. Pressed the 'push to test switch' on my mask and jump-seat mask next to mine; and both tested O.K. Having not needed to go the lavatory in flight; I could not tell that the O2 system wasn't working correctly. I have caught bad mask before; not working properly and had them replaced. Having been recently sick with the flu; I am reluctant to put a mask on to test it during these epidemic times.
