A rare horn-rimmed Wellington that was manufactured and distributed at the request of the US Army.
At the time, the same model was manufactured to strict US government specifications by mainstream American brands such as AO and Bausch & Lomb.
Produced as a distribution model for the US Army.
This is the reason why there are many cases where the brand name written on the front and temples do not necessarily match.
This one has an AO front.
