My Mum dragged this out of her attic this week, I used to play 'war' with this on my head when I was about 6 years old!
Can anyone tell me anything about it please?
Many thanks
Nick

RAF "C" Type. WW2. Used from mid 1941 and into the 50's.
Nice item.
Cheers, Ade.

Yes indeed, I beleive you will find that this is the earlier type which does not have the fittings for the electrical loom, which if I remember correctly dates it 41-44. Perhaps somebody else will confirm. Doug
Doug is correct. This is the earlier issue.
The later ones have an open slot at the rear (under the buckle) which allows the wiring for the headsets to pass through between the outer leather and the liner. There is another set of holes near the ear pieces which the wring then comes out of.
Cheers, Ade.

Maybe one of your "Mum's" suitor's forgot this under the bed back in the day Nick...
Is this going to lead to another collecting venture?
