Hello.
Just came across these Goggles.
Color of the knitted sides are grey/white. Frames are grey metal. Leather parts are also grey.
The one strap is cotton with AM Crown stamp and serial number - the other part is elastic - still.
Question: Are they pilots goggles - maybe even dating from WWI or are they impostors (Tankcrew/motorcyclist goggles dressed to look like pilots goggles)





and closeup on AM stamp

Look to be Triplex goggles Soren. The most common goggles in use with the RFC/RNAS/RAF although they were continued to be made post WWI and that's what I am sure these are.

They are aircrew goggles :)
