Luftwaffe Late War N&G goggles...

[Jos Le Conté]

Bought this pair with container lately to complete my serie N&G ..

The 4th model IMO.

They're completely foldable and unmarked.

Does someone has a similar pair which are makermarked ?

Hi

I have the same glasses like your I chek but they are unmarked like your ; inside container there is a paper with instruction and N&G address.

I send you a pic of mine

How much did you paid them?

Hi Otis,

Nice set !

They're not the same though IMO.

I think your set is not completely foldable, but just for a part, no ?

I'm curious about the instruction and address, do you mind posting a pic of that ?

Here's a pic to show what I mean with completely foldable..

Hi Jos.

Very interesting topic!

yes! my set is not completely foldable, I chek it (in the PIC you can see max foldable)

I hope you can see the label (try to send other pic but I have had problem on size, if you wish I'll send other replying)

On the label the address is:

MERZ - WERKE Frankfurt a.M.-R

Have you other Luftwaffe glasses? It should be interesting to continue topic on pilot glasses

Hi Otis,

Interesting paper, yes, I would like to see it close-up if possible ?

In case of N&G goggles you can post them in this thread, if you want..

In case of rubber goggles just open a new thread and we'll see what happens then.., have no clue how many members have them actually..

Yes, your type of N&G are the regular 3rd type, as I will call them, the foldabe one might be a later ( improved) pair and more practical to store or to put in the pocket etc..

Thanks Otis..

Now I see, it's more a general prescription about Ultrasin lenses and who used them in their goggles..

it's 1937 dated, might be a indication towards the first model..

"Nitsche & Guenther" used the lenses ofcourse, but also "Merz-Werke" .. and I think maybe leitz also.

I'm curious what types of goggles Merz-Werke made, all I know is they made goggles for car drivers/motor drivers, flashlights etc......
