2 Mystery headgear seeking identification?

Interesting, but there has to be more. There is nothing to prevent the forehead from being struck. That is, after all, where the "zipperheads" got their nickname from.

Since the two parts have come from the same source, we'll have to keep an eye out in spring for whatever goes onto those forward snaps and those leather straps.

Roger Lucy would no doubt be interested in what you have found up to now.
