description

The stakeout sight is made of steel . It serves as protection for the wearer's face. It was used on helmets that did not have a permanently attached visor, e.g. B. open balaclavas. It was pinned to the helmet with the help of lockable pins. For this purpose, small tubes were attached to the helmet, which were located on both halves of the helmet. These tubes received the fastening pins and thus connected the visor and helmet. These fastening points give the impression of a hinge . Some visors of this type consisted of several pieces and were attached to the helmet with small hooks. So you could remove one or more parts of the visor.
