1 Vintage Ray-Ban L0205 Classic Metals aviator sunglasses are the iconic Bausch & Lomb aviators that have been a top choice of both the general public and celebrities for over 60 years, featuring gold plated frame and original Bausch & Lomb G-15 anti-glare lenses perfect for all light conditions. Originally designed for the US military, classic Ray-Ban aviators were designed with an extremely light frame weighing only about 150 grams of 24k gold-plated metal along with the G-15 mineral glass lenses to filter out 100% of infrared and ultraviolet rays. The 58mm G-15 aviator lenses provide full coverage to the eye yet sit comfortably on the face, measuring approximately 2.25" x 1.875" at the widest points. The unisex Ray-Ban aviator frame measures approximately 5.25" temple to temple and is impressed B&L Ray-Ban USA on top of the nose bridge and impressed B&L Ray-Ban 58 [] 14 on the bottom of the bridge. The right lens is laser etched Ray-Ban, both lenses are laser etched BL near the hinges, and on some production one ear pad is impressed L0205 or L2928, part of a retired Air Force officer's collection in Sarasota, Florida.

Vintage Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban 58mm G-15 mineral glass lenses c 1960s - mid 1970s pre-date their etching of the lenses but came to us from an optical shop that went out of business long ago and had leftover inventory but are in a B&L Ray-Ban aviator frame that had too much pitting to meet our very high condition standards.
