    The INDIANA JONES OF EBAY does it again !!...........I have managed to  purchase  THREE militaria collections.....&  TWO Police collections.....mainly patches, badges,insignia & headgear.
    AND I  have managed to obtain DIRECT from the STORES some RARE WWII UNISSUED ITEMS.......
    DO NOT MISS OUT
    NO RESERVE
    This item is  a SINGLE   tan cotton corduruy material with  padded cream coloured inner.
    These were issued to the  Colonial Forces ( Sepoy's, Seikh's , Bengal Lancer's etc to wear , so that when the turban was worn atop these 'cones' the display would be a uniform height / size etc...like looking at a Regiment of Guardsmen wearing Bearskins.
    I have managed to locate a small quantity of these that had remained unissued in the Stores.There are TWO slight  variants that will be listed seperately
    #1 -1942 dated ...slightly smaller ventilation holes at the top
    #2 -1943 dated ...slightly larger ventilation holes at the top
    #3 -1944 dated ...slightly larger ventilation holes at the top
    This is for #2
    Both designs have Broad arrow /!\ Government WAR DEPARTMENT stamps , dated with   manufacturer ( some clearer than others- pic highlighted for clarity)The  markings do vary from item to item...but they are ALL genuine and some  have more/less stampings than others.
    This is in  VERY nice ISSUED condition .(extra pics on request). please note  pattern might vary  slightly from that shown
    A splendid attition to ANY collection . Original items for LESS than  some dealers sell copies.
    DO NOT MISS OUT.
    NO this was Not worn by the Turbanator .
