Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Description: This listing is for authentic Willson AN-6531 / AN6351 Brass Core Nickel Plated Frame (to prevent interference with navigation equipment) Cable Temple Type II / Type 2 Rose Smoke Mineral Glass Lens WWII Era Military Aviator Issued Pilot Sunglasses 57-12-115 ULTRA RARE 1940’s Army Air Corps / Navy Airmen. Sunglasses are in fair vintage pre-owned condition, both lenses have scratches (see photos). Size: 57-12-115. Made in USA. Please see pictures to make your complete condition assessment. The lenses were made to a joint standard shared by the U.S. Army Air Corps and the U.S. Navy. As a result, the lens carried an “AN” (Army/Navy) specification number: the AN6531. The U.S. Government specified the shape of the lens and the color, which was initially a 50% green tint. This tint proved insufficient to protect pilot’s eyes from sun glare so this lens was superseded by the AN6531 Type 2 lens in rose smoke. Various contractors made the frames and ground the lenses. These included American Optical, Bausch & Lomb, The Chas. Fischer Spring Co. (which primarily made AN6530 Goggles) and Willson. Frame and hinge design varied slightly from contractor to contractor. Please feel free to ask any questions prior to bidding/purchasing.
