A military issue model that was redesigned in the 1970s
from the gray horn-rim style.
At the 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 USS.

At Burbank Labs, which produces many sunglass lenses
for movies and television,
a dark gray (40%) lens that pairs well with this frame
was installed.
It is a tint designed for outdoor use, where the other person can barely see your eyes.

You can wear it 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,
establishes a genuine texture and appeal that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas
circulating on the market.
