I am talking about this;

I'm always interested in learning about things like this but I certainly couldn't say I'm "into" them; in fact I'm not sure I've ever seen a "real" one. To really be interested in something I usually find an example then read everything about it I can find online. My understanding of these is that they were popular among crews of armored vehicles as a version of the award they wouldn't have to worry about either damaging inside their vehicle; or worse, catching on something while they were trying to abandon a burning vehicle! I don't know if I even knew they existed in the Imperial era like this one.

Thanks for your reply.
It isn't mine. It belongs to a young French collector who's dad found it on a attic.
It was posted on a French forum, I am helping moderate.
I didn't see one eighter before, but tought it looks quiet good and stands great chance to be genuine.

I have never seen a real one in person and one one or two on the forums
that have evr been given the thumbs up . From what I can see of this one,
I think it has strong possibilities of being good. Someone with way more
experience than me needs to take a look at it.
