WWII USAAF / USN Type AN-6530 Aviator Goggles Mid-war Streamlined Vent

This is a World War II United States Army Air Forces / United States Navy Type AN-6530 Aviator Goggles Mid war Streamlined Vent.The goggles have early streamlined vents on either side and are marked AN-6530 on the bridge. The lenses are fixed in place with a foam frame but the hinged bridge is able to flex slightly. Used by the Army, Navy and Air Force during WWII, the goggles were produced by only two manufacturers: Chas Fischer Spring Co. and American Optical. This was upstaged in 1944 by the B-8 goggle, making this an item that was used only a short time. Original Strap & Green Lenses, Cuhion May be an excellent Replacement. Good Pair to wear.
