vantique Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Hi everyone! Wondering if this is a jinghasa....would appreciate your feedback. There is a pic of a pair of glasses for scale, as well as one closeup for material ID. Thanks so much. Vince Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLuucas Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Old fiberglass perhaps? Could be a vintage miners helmet or hardhat. Just a guess, -Sam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blacksmith Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 It looks to me more like a poor copy of an old Celtic, or possibly Roman, shield boss (Umbo). As Sam says, fibreglass in all likelyhood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vantique Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 I was hoping it to be something more than a weird hat. Anyway, the real treasure is having you people comment on it (and of course on a whole lot of things) expertly and swiftly🙂. Much appreciated. Many thanks!

Oldman Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 I once had a WWII helmet liner that looked exactly like the item in question, except for shape. The material looks to me like fibreglass or something similar. Cheers, Michael BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blacksmith Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 So it didn't 'looked exactly like the item in question' then! Sorry Michael, but I just couldn't resist it! I have had a few of the American M1 helmets with their fibre or plastic type liners. I am pretty certain that the item in the original post is a fibreglass copy of a shield boss. The dimensions and form are correct for this, possibly even the embossed decoration if it it supposedly Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
