RAF Mk.VII flying goggle anti-glare shield

Code: G19278

Stores reference 22c/827. The frame is generally in very good condition with only minor paint loss/chipping.   The leather surround is excellent and the backing chamois much cleaner than most pairs.  Unusually the internal padding remains soft and pliable. Very good nosepiece leather. The clear glass lenses display very well with only very minor delamination marking at the edges.   The webbing strap retains good colour and elastication and the metal componants are 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 ''/ excellent pair of goggles suitable for both RAF and USAAF displays.  Stock code G19278.
