Identify vintage ray ban sunglasses for a customer..
Anyone can help identify vintage ray ban sunglasses?
No marking beside B&L Rayban USA on the glasses, and Size 58#17.
Glasses är genuine Rayban and probably from the mid 80s.
Mineral lenses and right markings.
Looking for mod name and number.
Thx in advance.
it would help if I knew the size, but it looks like the old B@L DECOT
never mind I saw the size, still believe its a DECOT, which was made as a shooting type glass, and the brow bar kinda confirms that

my mistake, its a rayban explorer
Splendid! Big thanks to you! You know the mod number?
Steve, that's the new decot site, but its not the old original B@L decot frame, the old original decot was a solid metal frame, with a brow bar, and the famous "O" ring in the center, mostly made in kalichrome lenses, and at the time, late sixties, early 70,s was produced by B@L
not from that far back, contact walter drill OD, he,s on the board here as walleye, and I think its Lansdale pa., he has all the old books, and probably has the frame. Wally saved everything
Thanks again :D
I would guess now with the help from you..
RB-explorer-SB-0353
try SB-1108
I think the model number your alluding to is a rayban explorer, without the brow bar
wrong again, there is a small rayban explorer that is a model number sb0353, but I,m not sure of what that small size would be, usually with B@l over the years 58 was considered large, such as the large goggle, and then the 62 was large goggle 2
from what I can ascertain, this is one of those many models made by B@L over the years for the foreign markets, if it measures 42mm vertically, it is indeed the SB0353, small size
Big thanks Harry, you are a master!
Very nice. If only Ray Bans were made that well today.Anyone can help identify vintage ray ban sunglasses?

Agree 100%, thats why i like the vintage ones.
if only Lux had'nt bought them out, im sure they would still be solid frames.
Honestly, the more recent metal styles are really good quality, especially if they have no cheap spring hinges.
And any of the legacy metals (aviator, etc) are AT LEAST as well made as any B&L did after they moved from Gold filled.
Even the original wayfarer has the good hinges of yore.
