Just won myself a pair on Ebay. I had managed to get a pair about a year ago, but the glass got smashed in the post, and the cost of replacing the lenses was crazy! Anyway, managed to get these. I see that Armani, who produced the repro glasses for DiCaprio in THE AVIATOR movie, are now mass producing them for public sale.

You can see modelled pics of my new specs, if you copy and paste my "link" to my gallery, which is at the bottom of here in red

Sorry for my absence, but been a busy bee at this end. Must buzzzzzz off now!

Congrats Paddy- they look nice and have that nice "mother of pearl"-lucite which is very period. I picked up a mint pair off eBay a while back for only $9, which was nice... Mine have plain steel frames, no plating, I like it.
Check out also the early and mid-war RAF sunglasses, very nice too.
BT.
