A military issue model that was redesigned
from the gray horn-rimmed style in the early 1970s.
At that time, the same model was manufactured by
mainstream American brands such as AO and Bausch & Lomb
according to strict U.S. government specifications
and produced as a US Army issue model.
This is why many pieces can be found where the brand name
on the front and the temple do not necessarily match.
This particular piece is a rare one where both the front and temple
are manufactured by Bausch & Lomb.

At Burbank Labs, which produces many sunglass lenses
for movies and television,
light green (15%) lenses that pair well with this frame
have been installed.
The tint is dark enough to see clearly through the other side,
allowing them to be worn indoors as well. You can wear them immediately upon arrival.
The frame is in excellent condition, with no signs of deterioration or thinning of the acetate.
The authentic vintage frame, which you can feel in your hands,
possesses a genuine texture and appeal that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas
circulating on the market.
