Compared to modern rubbish Italian-made Luxotica RayBans these have real weight and quality – there is no use of cheap materials in the frames, the lenses are top notch and everything about them oozes quality -making them are a tactile delight. These date from the days when Ray Ban was all about quality, and was not just another fashion brand.
There is a small ‘scab’ in top left corner(as viewed from in front) of the left hand lens, and two small scratches on the same lens (neither of which are visible when looking through the
glasses and aren’t in the line of vision and doesn’t effect the visibility at all),hence the very low price. Snap these up – they are a cracking bargain!
