In the 1970s, this military issue model
was redesigned from the gray horn-rimmed style.

At the time, this same model was produced by major American brands
such as AO and Bausch & Lomb
according to strict U.S. government specifications
as a US Army issue model.
This is why many pairs can be found with
the brand name on the front not matching the temple markings.
This particular pair is a rare example with a Bausch & Lomb front
and American Optical temples.

*
At Burbank Labs, which produces many sunglass lenses
for movies and television,
light gray (50%) lenses that pair well with this frame
were installed.
The shade is dark enough for outdoor use that
your eyes are almost invisible to others when worn.

The frame is in excellent condition, with no deterioration or thinning of the acetate


These authentic vintage frames, whose quality you can feel in your hands,
possess a genuine texture and appeal that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas
circulating on the market.
