RARE WW2 British, Dunkirk Era, Box of Six, MKII, Anti-Gas Eye Shields, 1939.

Was £55 now £45

Eye shields were a simple plastic visor designed to protect the eyes from gas spray. These are examples of the second of three MK's. One packet of six was issued to each man.
Clearly marked and dated to ‘EJB 1939’ it is clear to see by the staining to the envelope, one of the modifications made to the MKII’s that made them different to the MKI’s i.e., a green strip of oil cloth was stapled at the top edge and is backed by a piece of white flannel for added comfort and sweat absorption. Other changes being a one-piece elastic headband and a pressed edge to the plastic giving increased strength.

A rare chance to acquire these BOXED and now hard to source items!!
