One mystery headgear solved?
As I was posting pictures of the mesh headgear with the button snaps, it jogged my memory of another mystery piece of headgear I have sitting in the collection that nobody seems to know about. It's supposedly part of an Armoured corps helmet, C broad arrow marked, part of a late war design, with 3 snaps to secure it to something?

So..........
The snap buttons seem to line up and the 2 leather straps in the back of the mesh headgear even line up with securing the pad to the headgear.
It looks oddball but seems to fit together. What do you think? Am I onto something here? Derk

Wow, amazing, never seen anything like this.
Makes you think where the Russians got their inspiration for tanker headgear - or was it the other way round?
