Ian L Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Any idea what the country of origin is for this blackout cover & what vehicle / motorcycle it was fitted to ? The only identifying feature is the letter K stamped in the top front. Almost the same as a late war Butler with the flip up bottom cover.

Lauren Child Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 That looks similar to the soviet post war ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy66 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 What's the size of the black out Ian? I think if the size of the headlight is 6"1/2 it looks to me as it is a civilian bike type black out cover ! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Hi Guy its 17cms which I think is slightly larger than bike covers, I've done a bit of homework on the internet and think Lauren could be right, the blue lens is post war soviet I believe ?

Lauren Child Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) If you look at the front of the shade part, it's notched upwards. I've only seen that on the soviet kit (BRDM etc.). Edit: you can see similar here - http://data3.primeportal.net/apc/egor_kalmykov/brdm-2/images/brdm-2_34_of_35.jpg Edited October 15, 2014 by Lauren Child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
