Goggle, Mask, Flying, Mk.II. By The Triplex Goggle Mask & Lens Co. Pear shaped laminated lightly tinted glass lenses set in black painted brass frames within an extended brown leather facemask. This is backed with faux fur and a narrower band of rabbit fur around the lenses. The frames are in good order retaining much of the original paint finish at the edges, the front faces are more rubbed with paint loss. Stamped 'REG & PAT. APP For'. The leather is in very good supple condition with gold blocked official markings to one side 'GOGGLE MASK FLYING MARK II', along with the manufacturer's details, and 'A' (indicating RFC issue). Unusually, this pair retains virtually all of the original fur backing, there is just minor loss at the very edges of the left side as worn. Fitted with the original strap, now rather stretched and lacking elastication. The lenses appear to have been produced with a light yellow tint, most of this has faded but they are undamaged. A good pair which display very well. Rare to find. Stock code G26964.
