In the 1970s, this military issue model
was redesigned from the gray horn-rimmed style.
At that time, the 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 pieces are found where the brand name
does not necessarily match between the front and temple markings.
This particular piece is a rare one where both the front and temple
are made by Bausch & Lomb.
As it is a frame for aftermarket pads,
The front marking is 46/26,
but the actual bridge measurement is 24mm (size 24).
*
This is a piece in perfect condition with no deterioration or shrinkage of the acetate.
The authentic vintage frame, which you can feel in your hands,
establishes a genuine texture and appeal that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.
