RAF Mk.VII flying goggles - modified

Code: G26129

SOLD

These unusual goggles appear to be modified from a pair of Mk.VIIs with the two sides of the frame being stitched to a unique leather facepiece.  The normal MK.VII adjustable centre bridge piece has been removed completely and the suede backing incorporates a nosepiece from a pair of Mk.VII goggles.  The lenses are from standard MK.VIIs but the strap is from a pair of VIIIs with modified attachment rings.  Condition is reasonably good.  The frames are chipped/rubbed but the facepiece is good.  Both lenses have delamination marks and one is cracked.  The strap is rather faded and stretched retaining only a little elasticity.  Stock code G26129.
