Question Nitsche und Gunther Splitterschtzbrille question

All,

I am looking for information onthe various models of the anti-splinter goggles. I have seen a few examples but would like moredetailed information-issue cases, variations of design, offical model numbers \ types...

Additionally any close-up pictures on the goggles in usewould be great.

Thanks

Ed- thanks this is a start - the only problem is that I think (I am no expert by far) the googles are apost war copy. The reason I say this is that if you look at the arch of the bridge it is not even - one side is longer than the other. If I am not mistaken this is a typical error. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.
