Look like "General Purpose Goggles" worn by drivers , artillery crews etc... I don't see any SS pin in these photos . But they look WW II issue .
CBH..........i believe you are correct that they are general purpose "Umbral protective goggles", I am posting a photo from Mick Prodger's book showing a pilot wearing them over his regular goggles,not sure how many colors they come in ,but i have (3) brown....blue....tan...........the small instruction sheet was printed in 1937.............Dave H
Bought these Kradfahrer goggle at the flea-market on Saturday. They would seem to be the same as ones shown in SADolch's post with pictures. I wonder, if his goggles have the same markings on the two eye piece rims as the mine ? Regards
Alech.......Nice pair of goggles......if you notice on the paper instruction booklet it is marked Frankfurt M-- R ....I am in Nurnberg Germany at this time........I will check my goggles when i return in a few days...................DAVE H
Alech...........no maker marks on any of mine....very nice that yours are marked.......Dave H
Dave,
Thanks for taking the trouble - I believe the firm is still in existence, I would be interested to know when (era) they were producing my type of rim marked goggles. Regards
