The only dust goggles I used to see in the army surplus stores (in my youth) came in wallets with so many pairs to the wallet. I only ever saw clear (flimsy) celluloid types. I was led to believe that Rommel used captured British stock. The colour of the strap on your example would suggest RAF issue.
Cheers,
Steve.
thanks for your thoughts on this one steve i cant quite remember if these came in a wallet if they did i must of binned it or perhaps it was simple cardboard packaging but i no longer have it ,so possibly raf use thats interesting ,i really dont know to much about these ,there is no date stamp markings visible and the only legible writing is on the pop studs which simply say newey, england
