Original Items: Only One Available. This is a very nice set of British WWI Royal Flying Corps private-purchase Aviator Tinted goggles, complete in their original case. The goggles have aluminum surrounds for the tinted glass lenses, which are fitted to a leather backing, with velvet padding around the eye holes. The head strap is made of leather and spring-loaded canvas, though one of the springs has let go. Optics are clear, with a great tint and look.

The original case is painted the standard British WWI Olive Tan color, and the inside appears to be tin plated. Case has the expected dents from use and age.

A nice lovely set of private purchase goggles, ready to display!

The Royal Flying Corps was Britain's Air Force's title during the First World War. It only became known as the "Royal Air Force" on April 1st, 1918, not long before the war ended on November 11th 1918.
