Code: G22790

SOLD

Goggles, instruments, flying practice, Mk.2.  Stores reference 22C/1136.  By Polaroid.  Single piece moulded black rubber frame with chamois backing that is essentially the same as that used in the USAAF B-8.  Fitted with a deep blue tinted plastic/celluloid filter (lens) and a standard strap as fitted to the MK.VIII flying goggle.  The frame, which has both manufacturer and refence details moulded into it, is in very good condition but would benefit from a quick clean.  The lens appears to be in good order and the strap looks good but ony has a little elasticity remaining and corrosion on metal parts.  Very early post WW2 goggles.  Unusual and now rarely seen.  Stock code G22790.
