The rarely portrayed M3 looks great! Hey, aren't those Russian pattern goggles, anybody know?

Joe

Don't know about the goggles - but I find the pale lupine eyes rather sinister.

They got it right on this oldie:-



and I presume the goggles issued in Korea would have been the same, or very similar.
Perhaps this new character served in WW2 and they were his trophies.

Cheers,

I thinks, it's all right with those goggles!

It is a british "Triplex"...



This model was adopted by the U.S. Government in 1938, and under contract produced as the M38 - and used together with the tanker helmet M 1938 - like the novelty by "Young"...:



Next pic top left, a pair of M38 goggles on an M38 US Tanker helmet. Top centre, US Grant tank driver. Top right, a US aviator wearing M38’s or private purchase N.M.R’s. Bottom left, a French Tanker and bottom centre and right, British Dispatch Riders...:




Or it is a soviet one - but unlikely, since this model was issued primarily to the NKVD flying regiments ...:







We can also exclude a German booty piece, since the Wehrmacht used similar models for tank drivers, Kradschützen (motorcyclists) and pilots, but only similar ...
