WWII USN Willsonite Sunglasses

[Robert C]

I'm looking for a pair of WWII US Navy Willsonite sunglasses. These are the ones that had almost clear color acetate frames. I bought pair on Ebay that were described a mint but it turned out they were far from this condition. Anyone know where I could find a pair of these in very good/fine to mint condition....

Regards,
Rob

These...?

I'm afraid my experience is limited to AAF and RAF sunglasses. But we do have some navy/marine guys lurking and maybe one of them knows where to send you besides eBay.

One more thought... If it's just scratches on the lenses, do what I did: Get new lenses (prescription in my case) and have the optometrist save the old lenses for you.
