These were worn by army personnel who were assigned to military service because of their technical skills for the duration of the war, and were differentiated from standard army administration officers by the blue grey band.

This is a really original & used M42 Army over seas cap. It shows honest age and use.

OK OK it has replaced original insignia, but the insignia is correct and properly applied. The body of the cap shows really honest use.

This is right from the son of a WWII 17th Airborne vet from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Originally 2 pith helmets came home in this box, but only one remains. It is in excellent condition with the only problem being the strap which is broken @ the point where it folds over the brim. It could be easily glued. The box is the one the pith was send home in, but is missing the lid with the shipping info. This is a nice display piece, which was so typical of send home GI souvenirs.

This is a good filler pair, or for a mannequin. The rubber is a bit used in several spots, but it still appears to be mostly solid. One of the lens frames is missing the piece which holds the strap hook, but still it will all hold together for your display. Both lenses are fine as are all the straps, including the top one, which is always missing.
This is a nice original set without cracks or chips. The case has a few moth nips, but nothing major.

No these are not pilot's goggles. If you have a pair for sale and are claiming they are Luftwaffe fighter pilot or flight goggles; shame on you! They are a very sound pair. The strap is sound, and full length. The lenses are perfect without cracks. The rubber frames are still very flexible. These are very good for a headgear display. The can is the correct original one for these. Overall these are a very solid pair of desirable goggles.
