October 25, 20187 yr #4 Very interesting fact, never knew that this existed. Seen one many years ago at a flea market and even the gentleman selling it did not know anything about it, and I left it on the table. Thank you for posting this helmet. Tony

Tony Thanks Tony, I wasn't sure what it was when I got it either. I "assumed" it was medical in nature but, it took a friend who collected IDF to confirm what this was.
