Ray-Ban Ambermatic Bullet Hole Shooter Sunglasses
1 Vintage Ray-Ban Ambermatic bullet hole shooters feature Outdoorsman ear stems that curve behind the ear for the most secure fit possible and early Bausch & Lomb Ambermatic lenses c 1960s - 1970s. Ray-Ban bullet hole shooters were originally popular with the hunting and shooting crowd because of how the "bullet hole" along with the "General" brow bar improved the balance of the sunglasses resting on the face, but today celebrities and athletes in particular seek them out. B&L Ray-Ban Ambermatic lenses have photochromatic properties that change density depending on the degree of both brightness and temperature. Taking its name from the color of the lens, Ray-Ban Ambermatic sunglasses change from amber yellow to gray and become darker and denser in bright light conditions and in colder temperatures. The top of the nose bridge of the Arista gold plated frame is impressed B&L Ray-Ban USA, and the unisex Ray-Ban bullet hole shooter frame measures approximately 5.25" temple to temple with the 62 mm Ambermatic lenses measuring approximately 2.375" x 2.0" at the widest points. Rare.

1B The ultimate example of vintage Ray-Ban Ambermatic bullet hole shooters are the special issue competitive shooting glasses Bausch & Lomb made for the US Secret Service. Although identical in size, appearance, and marks, this bullet hole shooter frame is the extra strong Bravura version made to stand up to the demands of competitive shooting or agent field duty and perfect to hold the early Bausch & Lomb Ambermatic lenses. This rare example is in mint, unworn condition from the estate of a former Secret Service agent; they come in the original case and with the original cardboard side blinkers that slip over the ear stems and read "Competitive Shooting begins with Safety" and below that "James J. Rowley Training Center - United States Secret Service."
