RAF Anti-Glare Spectacles, Working Patt.

SOLD

Code: SOLD-161




Type E.1 EPNS wire frames with circular clear lenses, wrap around side-arms and leather side-shields. These come with the original Air Ministry marked tin of issue which has a @APOS@Working Pattern@APOS@ (Sealed pattern) label and lead seal attached. The label reads @APOS@Spectacles, Anti-Glare Type E1 Fitted With Calorex Or Infrex Glasses, With Case@APOS@. The label is dated August 1941 but also has a much later 1958 inspection stamp. Excellent condition although the twine fastening the glasses to the case has severed. Rare to find these as a @APOS@Working Pattern@APOS@. These were used as patterns to which all the @APOS@issue@APOS@ pairs should be made. Stock code G14809.
