RAF Mk IIIa Flying Goggles.

Widely Used by Fighter Pilots and Aircrew during the Battle of Britain. These goggles are in a near to 'mint' condition, probably being worn only once or twice. The leather strap is Air Ministry stamped with a stores Ref No. 22C/62, and is dated 1939, also there is an AID stamp on the rear (albeit feint). The strap has lovely working fabric covered springs either side. The goggle lenses are excellent and clear, with only a few minor scratches. All of the frame stitching is in place, also the two front lugs are present, which are often missing on this type of goggle. The inside brown felt padding is excellent and clean. 

Condition wise, these are almost a 'pristine' pair of early Mk IIIa goggles.
