Sent some pics to AO eyewear, I really appreciate the tip, hopefully they can tell me.
Wow, thanks Wulf, what a find I appreciate that I was also thinking about taking them to the Wings over the Rockies Air Museum to see if they knew anything about them.
The only marking I can find is on the right ear stem hinge, it has two vertical lines a square standing on one corner (kind of like a diamond but definitely square shaped) then followed by two more vertical lines
second pic down looks close, but the bridge area is wrong
