A military issue model redesigned from the gray
horn-rims starting in the 1970s.
At the time, this same model was produced by major
American brands like AO and Bausch & Lomb under
strict US government specifications as US Army issue.
The reason why the brand names on the front and temples
often do not match is due to this historical background.
This particular piece is a rare find with both the front
and temples manufactured by Bausch & Lomb.
*A perfect specimen in pristine condition with no deterioration or celluloid shrinkage.
A true vintage frame that you can feel the moment you hold it,
establishing an authentic texture and appeal that
cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.
