I bought these sometime around 1992 from WS Supplies army surplus shop in Oxford. They were standard issue for the US Air Force, Army, and Navy and became available commercially around the time I bought these.
My pair still has the little slip of paper inside the hard-case with the military info:
The straight arms take a little getting used to. They were designed to be able to be put on and removed whilst wearing a flight helmet.
Mine have yellowed a little over time, but they still perform great in the sunshine, and you can't help but feel a little bit like an extra from 'Top Gun'....:
