RAF Mk.VII flying goggles

SOLD

Code: G26128



Stores reference 22c/827.  The left and right sides of the frame are in good condition but the original centre bridge section has been replaced with a simple metal plate.  This appears to have been riveted into position but is also secured with non-original frame nuts as shown.  The leather surround and nosepiece are very good.  The backing chamois has average soiling and some of the internal padding has hardened.  Fitted with a set of clear glass lenses - they are no longer laminated and both have chipping as seen in the photographs.  This pair is fitted with the later issue elasticated webbing strap but it is rather soiled and stretched.  Whilst these goggles have had some 'repair' work they do actually display quite well and are suitable for both RAF and USAAF displays.   Stock code G26128.
