Wake1941 Posted June 5, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 5, 2020 Looks like a fine WW2 example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctorofwar Posted June 5, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 5, 2020 I believe the leather pieces are to hold the headphones in place. Looks like a nice example, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken88 Posted June 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 6, 2020 Fine example of a WW2 M38 Rawlings tanker helmet as the others have said The pieces of wire covered in leather hold the flaps and receivers in place. The elastic attachments on the back hold the cables in place and are to be attached to the male sockets above. Some pictures of the tanker helmet for your pleasure. Many others can be found online.
