French L'Armee de L'Air Cebe Flying Goggles

SOLD

Code: SOLD-1585



Cebe 4000 goggles were the favoured choice of many Battle of France pilots & Free French pilots during the Battle of Britain. The chromed frames are in very good to excellent condition. The clear perspex lenses do have surface scratches but these display quite well. Unfortunately the rubber facepiece is damaged with some cracking and perishing due almost certainly to poor storage. Please note that the rubber is not sticky but has hardened somewhat where affected. Both ends of the pad are unnafected and remain soft and pliable. Sadly the strap is missing. Certainly not the greatest pair of goggles but this model is extremely difficult to obtain. We haven@APOS@t had a pair for years and the only example we could find are on offer for over $1000US. Stock code G19605.
