          IMHO they're Italian WWII but they lack the rubber around the lenses.PaoloM

                Consider that most of the goggles that surface to the market are of civilian origin.
                These were made for pilots, for car or motorcycle drivers... But of course military personnel could purchase these goggles privately and use them as well.

                So all depends on the questions you make.
                Are these goggles strictly military? No
                Can these goggles be used on an italian WW2 uniform? IMHO yes, at best on an officer or a pilot uniform

                Here's another pair of goggles in their original box. These belonged to an italian military pilot in the '20s-'30s, but I cannot tell if he used them in service or in its free time

                  Thanks Ironcrown.....i was thinking along the lines of private purchase..so all doors are open as to their use etc ..but very possible that they have been used for an officer ...fur trim etc !...nice goggles you posted ...i have some similar ...one set has the tin & spare sun lens to fit the goggles the others are an unissued pair of sun goggles for Italian troops...Semovente

                    Two more types...the top one is a simple fold up early plastic sand goggles in a paper packet...the bottom one's have grey green leather ...& the lens glass has 'Umbria' marked on them..they fold up to fit in the brown leather cloth pouch.

                            goggles

                            The first goggles , without rubber, are the common " moutard" french goggles.
