Description
Old soviet military goggles used by the Red Army in the 1930s-1940s. With this dark type of filters, they used were probably for welding work in the repair of military equipment. It have a fabric base covered with a layer of leatherette and bakelite mounts for filters.
The leatherette layer has microcracks from age, but underneath it the fabric base is quite thick and durable. One of the metal rivets is damaged (photo 6), but this is not very noticeable and, if desired, you can replace all four rusty rivets with similar ones that are used on jackets or belts.
Keep in mind that due to the very dark filter, it is almost impossible to use such goggles in daylight, so you can only see the dark outlines of objects near bright light sources. Examples of such photos are shown in photo 8 - the sun behind the tree branches and an incandescent lamp. Also, through such glasses you can observe solar and lunar eclipses.
Also, if desired, you can unscrew the eyepieces mounts and put other glasses there, with a different degree of tinting or transparent. You can try ordering the production of these in an optics salon.
Such goggles for the Soviet (Red) Army were produced in several types, from different materials and with different filters, depending on their purpose. But all of them basically have one common design - four ventilation holes and between them are side rectangular pads, on which there is a seam in the form of a horizontal letter "M". Photos of soldiers with similar goggles are shown in photo 9.
Distance between eyepieces (approx.) 3" / 77 mm
Diameter of the transparent part of the eyepiece 1.7" / 44 mm
