Which Ray-Ban sunglasses did i buy?

Carl · Guest

Hi! I just bought myself a nice pair of Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses, and i need some help naming the model. I know that they're a part of the "Precious Metals"-series, and that they aren't fake, but that's pretty much it.
Model Name and Retail Price would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Carl,

Thanks for your post. Nice sunglasses Cool

These are definitely Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses. To find out what the model number is, look at the outside of the frame temples. If these are real Ray-Ban, this info will be printed on the temples.

Thanks for the answer! The only markings that could indicate a model-number are located on top of the bridge and says FC0881. I did a search on this but didn't find anything. I've taken some new pictures in hopes that someone will be able to identify the glasses. Keep in mind that these glasses are pre-98 (bought in 96 or 97 i think) and therefore are made by Bausch & Lomb. I am 100% sure of their authenticity, since i know that they were bought at a legitimate store.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I do not know what FC0881 stands for. I'm sorry Sad

Bausch & Lomb sold Ray-Ban to Luxottica Group in 1999. They still make several styles that they used to make before and they continued to use Bausch & Lomb lens technology for a while. They stopped using Bausch & Lomb lenses a few years ago. Luxottica also changed the markings on the frames and lenses.
