Very interesting...It is just a balaclava that was put on, a turban wrapped over it, and then the lower portion of the balaclava that surrounds the face was drawn over the turban and tucked in behind it. The opening in which the turban is visible is the face opening, and they were also known as "helmets" in WWI knitting patterns.
Interesting...where did you find that one, Gunga Din? Btw, I love your screen name.
thanks. i found it on ebay. do you know the name?
