Extremely Rare & Iconic WWI German Pilot Goggles in the Curved Rectangular Pattern ca 1917 / 1918

What we have here is a pair of the Iconic and quite Rare x000D Curved Rectangle Lens Style WWI Imperial German Aviator Goggles. Late war x000D production, the frames on these are mostly zinc or magnesium, with just the x000D pivoting retaining outer edge made of tinned steel. The leather nose piece is x000D supple and strong, and the leather pads are in incredible condition. The x000D original strap has lost its flexibility, but is still strong and can be x000D adjusted to size for display. An incredibly difficult pair of goggle to locate, x000D with perfect lenses. Don't break one of those, they are irreplaceable! 

World War I.

Approximately 2-1/16" in height x 7-1/8" in width x 3/4" in depth. Strap: 18" in length x 3/8" in width.

The goggles are made with tinned steel, glass, metal, black rubber, elasticized cotton strap, nose attachment is made by leather.

Elasticized (at one time...) cotton strap.

7 (Very Fine): No issues here whatsoever, except for the worn out ORIGINAL strap. If that was in better shape, these would rate an 8 or a 9. 

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
