hello my dear ladies and gentlemen, victorians, mad scientists and airship pirates! i bought a lovely pair of aviator goggles yesterday and i would love to know something more about them! they look very old to me (not WWII, but the leather is already very brittely) and there was no label when i bought them. here some pics: they have removable lenses,there were 2 pairs of lenses in 'em, darkened and clear ones. i would love to know where they're from, if they're army-goggles or not and maybe when they were produced (all the stuff that's usually written on the label! x.x ~Pocky |

I copied and pasted the linky...
We have a pair of goggles very similar to those. I got them on ebay as Chinese pilot goggles from the 1970's...

I've have a similar pair , they were Chinese atomic test ( and war ) goggles thence the red lenses and they made allot of them . There were allot of army cannon fodder who were issued these , there was not many Chinese pilots.
