WW2 US Tankers Helmet & Goggles

A good used example of the iconic US tankers helmet coming with a British made pair of drivers goggles.
Used as of 1941 the tankers helmet was intended as a 'crash' helmet & could accommodate the M1 helmet over the top of it for ballistic protection.
The shell is of US OD coloured vulcanised fibre with ten vent holes & a widened rear neck piece to protect the back of the head. It has side flaps to house the R14 earphones as seen here.
Maker marked on inside to the company 'BEARS SADDLERY' & with size '71/8'. Liner with heavy wear with but in good undamaged order.
A scarce piece to find today.
