I'm delighted with the goggles - a stunning piece of traditional british handycraft (#23/250). Compared with my original vintage WWII Mark VIII Goggles (I own a complete one in remarkable good condition with additional tinted replacement lenses and a anti-mist cloth in the original cardboard box with A.M. stamps, dated ca. 1943), your reproduction is spot on - very well done!
