Very Cool, Sturdy, & Heavy Shades!
I purchased these frames and shipping to the U.S. was very quick, arrived safely, and were well packaged. As other reviewers mentioned, it's like opening a time capsule and the package has that great old military surplus item "smell." The smell quickly wanes. there was some very slight tarnishing on the silver frames. But a quick wipe with a polishing cloth removed all the little bit of tarnish that I could find and left a mirror polish on the frames.
I saw the actors in the Rogue Heroes TV series wearing these glasses and thought they were great. After doing some more research these glasses and the ones worn in the series are the TYPE G glasses that are post WWII glasses. So the props department dropped the ball on the glasses. But that does not detract from the show or these TYPE G glasses. The older WWII MK VIII glasses do not have the top stabilization bar on the frame and the frame and glass materials were a little more fragile than these TYPE G frames. The TYPE G glasses that are being sold should hold up VERY well and have that great retro look. I carefully adjusted the temples and they fit perfect and provide ample anti-glare without distorting your view or colors.
I like them so much that I may order another pair just to keep in the original packaging as spares.
