RAF MKVII flying goggles & anti-glare shield

Code: G18085

Stores reference 22c/827. The frame is generally in very good/sound condition with relatively minor paint loss/chipping.   The leather surround is equally good and the backing chamois quite clean.  Unusually the internal padding remains soft and pliable. Good nosepiece leather. The clear glass lenses display well but do have some delamination marking.   The webbing strap is a little faded and lightly soiled but retains good elastication and the metal componants are largely free of rust and verdigris.  These also come with the extremely rare and sought after celluloid acetate 'flipshield', or more correctly, 'Screen, anti-glare', stores ref. 22c/836. This has minor scuffs/scratches and the metal attachment clip has surface corrosion.   A very good pair of goggles suitable for both RAF and AAF displays.  Stock code G18085.
