It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain items in good condition every year, but this is dead stock with no rust or deterioration on the frame and in excellent condition.
Proof of originality: AO engraved red dot screws (screws with red heads) on the temples.
The nose pads have not discolored, making this a product that you can enjoy for a long time.
The realistic vintage frames that you can feel when you hold them in your hands have an authentic appeal that cannot be matched by the many copies and replicas on the market.
