1940s aviator sunglasses: authentic?

[BigBrother]

Please have a look at this pair and see what you think! As I know nothing about aviator sunglasses from this era I have no clue if they’re authentic. Three things stood out to me, but maybe they’re nothing…

 

1. The lenses are perfect. Not a scuff or mark on them.

 

2. The bridge is soldered on at an angle, not straight.

 

3. The soldering in general looks very cheap/shoddy, at least by modern standards.

 

But I don’t know, perhaps this was all par for the course in WWII (?) What do you think about these? Thanks!!

Podívejte se prosím na tento pár a uvidíte, co si myslíte! Protože nevím nic o leteckých slunečních brýlích z této doby, nemám ponětí, zda jsou autentické. Zaujaly mě tři věci, ale možná nejsou nic…

 

1. Čočky jsou perfektní. Není na nich ani škrábanec ani stopa.

 

2. Můstek je připájen pod úhlem, nikoli rovně.

 

3. Pájení obecně vypadá velmi levně/nekvalitně, alespoň podle moderních měřítek.

 

Ale nevím, možná to všechno bylo na kurz za 2. světové války (?) Co si o nich myslíte? Dík!!

Hi, in the photo, guaranteed legal Bausch and Lomb sunglasses.
This is a colleague's finding during the reconnaissance of the B24 Liberator wreck, the crew was rescued on a parachute.

Unfortunately I just checked and they have no manufacturer stamp I can discern. And looking again at them, with their uneven soldering and soldering marks, there’s no way these are B&Ls (unless wartime production was really, really, *really* strained :)).
