YOU ARE PURCHASING:

AN ORIGINAL PAIR OF UNISSUED WW2 SKI AND MOUNTAIN GOGGLES.  THESE PAIR OF GOGGLES COME PACKED WITHIN A BROWN LEATHERETTE VINYL CASE..  THEY HAVE A CONTRACT DATE OF APRIL 8, 1943.  THEY ARE MANUFACTURED BY FOSTER GRANT CO., INC.

I AM PULLING THESE GOGGLES FROM THEIR UNOPENED ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT CARTON.  THEY ARE LABELED:

                                GOGGLES, SKI, MOUNTAIN WITH TYPE I LENSES            EXTRA TYPE III LENSES

                              B. Q. M. D.   4-87-43         W155qm-15505  (O. I. No. 7646). (SWP).      PD No.  B-C-201  (43)

                                                      FOSTER GRANT CO. INC.       LEOMINSTER,  MASS.

THIS STYLE GOGGLE WAS ISSUED TO THE 10TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION DURING WW2.  THIS DIVISION WAS FORMED AS A SPECIAL UNIT OF ELITE TROOPS WITH SPECIAL OPERATIONAL SKILLS ADAPTED TO MOUNTAIN TERRAIN.  THESE GOGGLES WERE ISSUED TO PREVENT SNOW BLINDNESS WHEN OPERATING IN HIGH MOUNTAIN EXTREME COLD WEATHER HARSH  CONDITIONS.

FEATURES:  POLISHED GLASS LENSES, GREEN TINTED FOR UV PROTECTION, CANVAS HEAD STRAP, WITH CANVAS EYE PROTECTORS ON THE SIDES OF THE LENSES, AS WELL AS FUR AROUND THE EDGES OF THE GOGGLE FRAME FOR FACE COMFORT.


NOTE:  EVEN THOUGH THESE GOGGLES ARE GUARANTEED TO BE UNISSUED AND HAVE NEVER BEEN USED    THE LENSES MAY SHOW SOME VERY MINOR SCRATCHES OR DISCOLORATION MARKINGS TO THEIR SURFACE.  THERE MAY ALSO BE SOME VERY MINOR SIGNS OF PATINA TO THE GOGGLES METAL FRAME AS WELL.  THIS IS DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF 80 YEARS OF BEING STORED IN VARIOUS TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS.  WITH THAT NOTED I STILL CONSIDER THEIR OVERALL CONDITION TO BE EXCELLENT.
