Thank you Mervyn, that would exciting news. However I think some of the more modern materials on the inside, such as the plastic liner and perhaps the self adhesive sticker, as well as the rubber foam padding behind the leather band, seems to indicate that it could be somewhat younger than that. The absence of a manufacturers label is also strange. I was wondering wether it was perhaps manufactured in South Africa? Possibly it is only partly modified, it was also whitened as an after thought, the original color was khaki. The Badge while rather pretty is also a complete mystery to me.

Hello Everyone
Thank you Brian for your recommendation of this website. I finally found a lead to a sun helmet which has been in my possession for quite a while, but I have never found out anything useful about it. It appears to be a "smart helmet" of some kind of some period in time. Since Mervyn mentioned it has been a bit quiet on helmets lately, I thought I upload some pictures of it.
I do wonder what our members think of it.

That's workshop equipment. Three of those where used on a lathe - a machine for shaping metal or wood - to clamp the workpiece while turning against a fixed cutting tool.
