WW2 RAF MKVII FLYING GOGGLES. A nice boxed pair of these classic wartime MKVII flying goggles. Also used and worn by USAAF pilots during WW2.
The goggles themselves show some wear, with some paint rubbing and loss to the frames. The leather face pad is in good condition too, showing some wear and soiling from use. The leather nose section is again in good condition without issues. Stamped to the bridge section with the store's reference number 22C/826, and an A.M. crown on the middle plate that holds the sunscreen. The head strap is again clean with no damage, still retaining good elasticity. The goggles are fitted with their original clear laminated lenses, sadly these have aged somewhat and would benefit from either cleaning or a new set of lenses fitting.
The goggles come in their original storage box, which I'd say is actually rarer than the goggles themselves. Very hard to find the original box for the MKVII goggles, in excellent condition, without damage and full printed wording on the front. A lovely original box.
Overall, a very good, used set of these iconic RAF MKVII flying goggles. Overall, perfect for any RAF museum, collection, reenactor, or display.
