Enigma Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Having a bit of a de clutter and came across these-any ideas please other than Im guessing they are RAF? Yes, AM stand for Air Ministry. It has the Kings Crown so before 1953. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Any ideas of age,thinking 50s maybe and are they just sunglasses worn by personnel or some form of pilots glasses? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I have a feeling they were 1930s, cant remember where I heard that though I have a pair just missing the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward53 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I think they could well be 30s or early WW2. My late father's Fleet Air Arm sunglasses from the 1940s were like this but with just a single curved bridge at the top and without the leather sides. They were in a plain black japanned tin case. On the basis that kit tends to get simplified rather than complicated, I would put these as earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
