Dose anyone know what real part was used for the hand welders shield/screen housing.

I don't think this has ever been identified, but thinking about it could it have been a flip-up shield from a welding helmet perhaps?

I believe the bezel is bent brass, like the connection to the hama grip.

Well like a lot of discoveries in the film, each one connects to others. For a recent example, take Schotti's Sentry "thing" identification thread. The "thing" in question turned out to be a pipe access door made by Polypipe in their "TERRAIN" lineup. Once I got looking at the catalogue on their site, I spotted other pipe connectors used in the corridors.

A few months back, while searching the web for those elusive ITEX ear defenders, I inadvertently came across other STEPHENS-ITEX products and this welding face handshield jumped out at me. I flipped through the film and found where I had seen it!



It wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume they came from these handshields - or at the very least, STEPHENS-ITEX brand.

EDIT: Perhaps something like this: STEPHENS-ITEX COMBI Faceshield with Flip Front 108mm x 83mm lens



Note: Unlike the Ear Defenders, both these shields are still readily available

The screen of the welder is around 76x50mm including the frame.
So it's much smaller than the usual faceshield lenses (108x83mm or 110x90mm).
Maybe they cut one of those lenses to size.
