These eyepieces ship with fragments of actual aircraft.

Not as decoration. As continuity. Each artifact edition is paired with authenticated material sourced from a specific aircraft with a documented service history. Housed in the packaging. Held alongside the object it belongs with.
Every artifact edition ships with provenance documentation. The aircraft's designation. Its service history. The years it flew and where it flew them. A record of what the material was before it became what it is now.

You are not wearing a reference to something that happened. You are carrying something that was there.

Artifact editions are produced in numbered series. Each edition is fixed at the time of production. There is no second run. When the series is complete, it is complete.

P-51D Mustang ‘Janie’ was constructed By North American Aviation in Dallas Texas in 1945. One of a batch of 10 which left the factory on 16th July 1945, it was shipped to New Zealand where it spent the next 10 years as NZ2427. NZ2427 was sold in May 1958 for the equivalent of £80 to Barry North and Pete Colman, remaining on Pete Colmans farm until 1990. In 1990 the Alpine Fighter Collection of New Zealand purchased the airframe and it was moved into storage at their headquarters at Wanaka. In 1997 the current owner Maurice Hammond purchased the airframe and transported it to the UK, registering it as G-MSTG. Over the next 4 ½ years Maurice undertook a full restoration including an overhaul of the Packard Merlin engine. Its maiden post restoration flight was on Friday July 13th 2001 in the WWII colour scheme of Major Bill Price from the 350th Squadron, 353rd Fighter Group based at Raydon, Essex.

This Eyepiece inherits the legacy of the formidable Hawker Hurricane, WWII's most resilient fighter.

We’ve worked with authentic components - a compass and tail wheel fragment from a Hawker Hurricane - extremely rare and real collectibles. We’ve confirmed these fragments’ origins, but tracing them back to their specific planes has been a bit tricky. Yet, we believe these parts belong to aircraft that participated in the Battle of Britain, possibly even shot down during combat. This mystery adds an intriguing element and an extraordinary story to tell.
