White aviator construction
The broad white front carries generous aviator lens openings, with a separate metal upper bar crossing above the moulded nose bridge. This double-bridge arrangement creates a distinct opening at the centre. The white temples continue the strong silhouette at the sides, while gray gradient lenses introduce a softer transition within the lens area. The maker designation is retained from the inventory; a factory model name should follow a legible temple inscription.
Collector’s note
The stepped bridge and broad front establish the frame’s sculptural presence.
Condition & presentation
A white front with contrasting metal upper bridge. Later gray gradient sun lenses are fitted. Please refer to the photographs for surface detail; additional close-ups are available. No case is included.
Restoration is carried out with intention by third-party specialists on an as-needed basis, preserving original features and markings as fully as possible. Individual condition notes describe the visible state and any specifically recorded changes.
