I've found some folk are extremely grateful for a correction/help/advice suggesting a genuine error (and they change it)....some HEAR the info and make no comment AND change......and others go la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la because they don't even want to hear.......

Here is one for sale in Bulgaria Vintage Miner cap MSA | eBay
This one has had additional holes drilled for the strap and light to go on front.
