A military-issued model, redesigned in the 70s
from the previous gray horn-rimmed version.

At the time, identical models were manufactured by major American brands
such as AO and Bausch & Lomb according to strict US government specs
and produced as US Army issue.
This background explains why many units have a discrepancy
between the branding on the front and the temples.
This piece is a rare find with both the front and temples
manufactured by USS.



*
We have installed light green (15%) lenses that complement these frames
at a Burbank lab that frequently produces sunglass lenses for movies and TV.
The tint is light enough that your eyes are clearly visible to others,
making them suitable for indoor wear. Ready to wear immediately upon arrival.
The frames are in excellent condition with no degradation or celluloid thinning.


Real vintage frames, which you can feel the moment you hold them,
possess an authentic quality and charm that cannot be satisfied
by the many copies and replicas on the market.
