Isn't that a Safilo? Looks VERY familiar!
looks like an Oakley logo on the temple shot of that frame... but clearly not an Oakley product. Maybe something from abb?
Here's my .02 cents Safilo Elasta Team or Fratelli Lozza
I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. Mark Twain
Safilo would be my best guess
Safilo was exactly the bell I heard ringing. I'll reach out to my rep to see if he can place it.
Those funky, lower-case gammas aren't as shiny as the pic makes them look. Definitely in 'antique bronze' territory.
Beer goes to the guess of most specificity without getting it wrong. So as of this post:
If it's an Elasta or Fratelli, Paul gets a frosty Shinerbock (or drink of his choice) on 6th St. If it's a different Safilo, drstewart so far has the best position by the net. If it's not Safilo at all, CN has the gutterball covered with "not Oakley."
Still time to get your best guess in there, guys and gals!
I'm just gonna throw out a guess and say they are some Gants of some kind.
It is hard to tell. Do you have another picture of it with the closer and clearer view of the temple side of the frame?
Tough to tell from the pic if it's using the standard 1.4 mm compression or the 2.0 mm ones. If the 1.4 it looks like an SPX Art.

Yeah, sorry for the lack of scale. Pictures were provided by non-optical staff. Both the SPX Art and the 7799 look boxier than lenses I see here? (Of course with silhouettes that may be perfectly interchangeable with these lenses, too.)
Thanks for the help, everyone.
Lenses don't tell you much with a silhouette. All lenses are interchangeable with the different lines and a lot of opticals even make thier own patterns.

Virtually all Silh's use the same drill diameter/displacement except SPX drills and some of the funky vertical drill frames they've made. You could put the lenses in a number of different lines. Just make sure you use the same bridge size to keep OC's where they're supposed to be.
The lenses should work with the 7799. The 7799 is a much better design than the 7395. The stress point on the hingeless temple is much more stable. Nowhere near the breakage level we would see with the 7395.
I'll have come to Austin to take you up on that beer. I've been to San Antonio several times for meetings, but have never made the short drive to Austin.
The front looks like a Safilo, but the spring mechanism housing doesn't look like one Safilo uses.
was the first one a Jerry Garcia frame?
Back for a new season! It's "Name That Frame!"
More old frames! More savvy contestants! More promises of free beer!
I know someone will think this is an easy one...
Very distinctive temple...
Thought this was in better focus when I took, but it's still hard to make out the designer signature. Joan Collins? the model is "CELEBRITY."
That's J-282 BLU MARINE
Name that Frame, and you win a free beer the next time you brave Austin traffic to claim it!
