Ray Ban Aviators. Real or fake??

[NJ Marty]

Picked these up at an estate sale a few weeks back for $2 and don't know if they are authentic, got them digging through boxes in the basement that looked untouched for decades. The reason I ask is I cant find the size on the arms. Do all ray bans have the size marked and could this have worn off?
Thanks for any info.

Looks like the real deal to me and quite old.

Nice find. Completed prices are all over the place, but even on the low end it's a great score.

Yes they look real, they have all the proper markings in the correct places. On the bottom corner of each lens, do you see a faded looking "BL"?

They didn't include the temple length since the temples aren't straight and probably have some flex to them. I am convinced they are old and authentic. Same goes for the case. Start around $20 and call them "Hunter S. Thompson/Fear & Loathing style" to attract more bidders.

Yup, the actual model/style are called- Ray-Ban 3138 Shooter sunglasses

Thanks so much for the information on them. I was hoping they were authentic as they looked real good. Im hoping they do well on the bay.

I have a lot of Ray Bans and they look good to me. Tip - I see a lot of empty Ray Ban, Prada, Chanel, etc. sunglasses cases at GSs. I usually get them for a dollar and got 2 Chanel cases for $1.00 total yesterday. Always buy the empty cases. You can either sell them, or at least have a case to put them in if you later find the corresponding glasses.
