The front plexi and and the common retaining hardware are simple replacements. As there are no other copies to compare to it is difficult to know the original state.
The plastic has been cleaned carefully, but in the edges of the front raised images is a gold color. Unsure of the entire piece was gold and someone planned to refinish it?This came from a multi million dollar sunglasses collection from the estate of a wealthy optometrist. Perfect home display for your vintage wayfarers, outdoorsman, or the general. Please ask any questions you may have, I'm happy to help or take further pictures.
