Re: Gebirgs goggles?
Sirs,
I got these goggles 30 odd years ago, and they were supposed to be a Gebirgsjaeger item. Has anyone seen anything like them? There are no markings of any kind on the body, strap, or lenses.
Thank you, all,
Mike

Re: Gebirgs goggles?
They certainly do look the part. The elastic band on the back is correct so could be an official pair for sure. Remember: Gebirgsjäger often wore civilian kit as well including shirts, boots, ice picks, scarfs, jackets etc. As they still do in todays military. The Swiss alpine troops for example will often be seen with civilian hicking boots ranging in colours from black to bright orange!

Re: Gebirgs goggles?
As the Herr Leutnant says , many personal and civilian items were used by GJ , they certainly look the part . I have a couple of similar pairs , with mesh and leather trim around the lenses - yours certainly look like something Mallory could have worn !
