I have been trying to find information on these visors. From what little I can find they were used for face protection when dealing with incendiary bombs during WW2. Were they issued by a home front group (which one?) or were they a private purchase? Would they have been used by bomb disposal crews, ARP, or by the general population? Is there any photographic documentation of them in use, or in magazine advertisements, etc? Any information or help would be appreciated.
Here is an example, but is it odd to have a medical or Red Cross helmet with a bomb disposal mask?
