I know that glasses are more of a personal item but there isn't a personal item page.
I see these "Sharpshooter" glasses all the time on ebay and at gun shows. The ones that have amber glass thas frosted with the centre clear. I understand the concept and thought about getting a pair, but not having of read about soldiers in the Berdan Sharpshooter wearing them. I didn't know if it would be acceptable to wear them. Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
My understanding was, they were a civilian item that have been linked with the Heavy Target Rifle. They may or may not have seen service in the field.
