USAAF AN6530 flying goggles

Code: G27702

RESERVED

By American Optical (AO).  The frames are good but somewhat soiled and with wear and light pitting to the plating.  The centre hinge pin is absent but this doesn't detract or affect the goggles much at all.  This pair have short tubular vents rather than the streamlined type.  Stamped 'A-N6530' on the centre hinge.  Fitted with an excellent pair of AO marked orange/amber glass lenses.  The one-piece rubber face cushion is generally very good and remains flexible but there are a couple of small cracks at the 'nose' - close up images also show surface crazing but this isn't serious at all.  The backing chamois is soft and very clean and the strap is a bit stretched with little elasticity remaining.  Metal strap components have light surface corrision.  A decent set of goggles that display well.  Stock code G27702.
