I've seen about 4-5 of these now with the rain guard feature, seems to be something that was in fashion for a short period and likely in a particular region. The one I had the mounts seemed to be Tuareg, but I have to admit it was quite some years ago and I don't recall it in great detail.
Marc, you have a PM from me.

Hi Ian
thanks for your response and dating. 4 or 5 ever seen, then I was a bit lucky to come across these. Glad to have another piece of history in the house.
I have replied to your email.
Regards
Marc
