ksavv Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I’ve come across this unusual item. It was in a job lot of WWII helmets and other artefacts and I have no idea what it could be. Been doing hours of research but couldn’t find anything even remotely similar. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hello, Well I am not sure at all, does it have any markings/ stamps on on it to give you any indication? etc It could be a WW1 face protection item, but it looks like medieval? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksavv Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Absolutely no markings or stamps. I personally was thinking it's WWI as well. It looks similar to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hello, Looks like I am wrong as it could well be be a prototype of an early WW1 British face protection for machine gunner crews or artillery crews....Great buy if it is?....Well Done Best to you...Desert Rat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Well it does say that the one shown was an early prototype, I would think this is just another form of face protection from WW1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
