Rolled out in the '70s as a redesigned,
all-black update to the classic gray horn-rim glasses,
this is a genuine military-issue frame.
Back then, heavy hitters like American Optical (AO)
and Bausch & Lomb made this exact silhouette
under strict U.S. government specs for the Army.
Because different contractors supplied parts
to keep up with military demand,
you’ll often see authentic pairs
with mismatched maker stamps between the front and temples.
What makes this piece especially rare is that
both the front and temples are stamped Bausch & Lomb.
The frame is in mint vintage condition
—super clean with zero degradation or acetate shrinkage.
