This rare and unique treasure is a Civil War Sharp Shooting Glasses used by the best shooter and best rifle in the 1860s. They are truly an amazing piece of Civil War History from 150+ years ago. These are in very good condition with brass frame and ear loops. They are very unique as in our 45 years of collecting these shooting glasses, they have have brass studs to hold frame with glass lenses (most have complete full lens frames in nickel plating. See bottom photo of more common full frame). These War Glasses have special tiny amber lenses with frosting on outside to focus on shooting the large Caliber Bullet about to be sent and blasted into opponent. In the middle 1800s an elite special selected group of highly accurate shooters were assigned to surround many battlefields during the battles (Note – Civil War was only fought during the day and often day brightness required sunglasses or these amber glasses with special focus). These seldom found sharp shooter glasses have been very well preserved for 150 years. Only a rare few of these Civil war Sharp Shooter Glasses can be found in museums and photos in a few old books. They truly belong in a museum or with a very serious collector.
