Carl Zeiss Jena Flieger- / Windschutzbrille
Category:
€ 250,00
Rare early Carl Zeiss Jena protective flying/wind goggles, most likely dating from the 1930s. A particularly interesting and seldom encountered heavy construction, featuring brown finished metal eye pieces with large curved lenses, leather padded surrounds and an adjustable leather and elastic head strap.
The goggles are clearly manufacturer marked, showing the characteristic Carl Zeiss trademark on the frame as well as the impressed “CARL ZEISS JENA” marking on the leather head strap.
Both lenses remain present and the original leather face padding is still intact. The goggles show honest age and wear, particularly to the leather head strap, giving them a very attractive untouched appearance.
An unusual and difficult to find early pair of Carl Zeiss Jena aviation/wind protection goggles, and a considerably less commonly encountered construction than the familiar later Zeiss “Umbral” protective glasses.
