About this item
An original 1937 dated pair of Royal Air Force MK III Flying Goggles as used during the Second World War which are in good condition.
This pattern of goggles came into use with the RAF during the 1930s and is now today one of the iconic 'Battle of Britain' period goggles. They saw use throughout the war with Fighter Command, Bomber Command, Coastal Command the USAAF - amongst others. This pair is particularly rare as they carry a very early date.
The goggles are British made rather than the more common Canadian examples often seen on the market. The strap features sprung metal sides which are joined by a piece of leather. This bears the contract number and other Air Ministry marking as well as the date of 1937 which can be seen in picture 8.
The goggles are in good condition with signs of age and use. The leather section of the strap is good as is the metalwork. The lenses are the originals and are very good but have some signs of age etc consistent with use. These goggles were clearly issued and used and have an excellent 'been there' look. Please study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that they are a vintage, pre-worn item which may have small issues commensurate with age.
A very nice set of goggles which would make a great addition to any aviation collection.
