British RN Navy Anti-Flash Gloves Size Medium

Commonly used by sailors throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, these gloves are a standard component of naval firefighting and damage control equipment. Size Medium generally fits average adult hands, in line with Royal Navy sizing standards. This item is suitable for collectors of military uniforms and those interested in naval history or historical firefighting gear.
