These are "US Army Official" frames, issued to the
military in the 1970s based on the strict
US government Mil-Spec (Military Specification).

Mil-Spec refers to rigorous, military-level standards.
Products that pass these tests are characterized by their
robustness, functionality, and reliability, serving as a benchmark
for quality that consumers can trust.

The durability required to withstand harsh combat zones
and the stripped-back, minimalist horn-rim design
are loved in modern fashion as an "eternal standard."

At the time, this model was produced by mainstream American
brands such as AO and Bausch & Lomb under strict
government specifications as official US Army issue.
This background explains why many units feature
different brand names on the front and temples.
This particular piece is a rare example where both
the front and temples are made by USS.



*
The frame is in excellent condition with no degradation or celluloid shrinkage.
