I also forgot to tell you that here in Italy somebody attempted to make a "tribute" to Walt and made a similar frame. http://www.saturninoeyewear.com/metal-age/137-walter-2.html I would say they are 100% incorrect and overpriced. Inviato dal mio BBB100-2 utilizzando Tapatalk

I would be extremely happy to buy a pair, even two. Those glasses are my favorite. Can't wait to see them finished! Keep me informed. Cheers from Italy, Carlo. Inviato dal mio BBB100-2 utilizzando Tapatalk

I might be a little late but here are some pics of my "modified" On Guard SG301. I don't know if this could help anyone. I will provide measurements as soon as possible, I don't have any yardstick right now. As you can see I removed the "double bridge". I admit it, I didn't really make a...

Frame - Tec almost convinced me that they made the frame. Their models look very similar. Unfortunately I got a NO as answer. My personal opinion is to keep looking. I know it's frustrating but new things continue to come up, so I don't think we're wasting our time. Inviato dal mio Pixel 2 XL...

I did contact Hilco but they cut it off saying that they don't have any information. Anyway, I modified my Hilco SG 301 and put up some lenses. I also changed the temples with the right screws, but no hooks inside them. I'm pretty happy with the results. The only remarkable difference is the...

Hello! I'm still trying to figure out Walt's exact frame. Lately I've found more infos. I've sent some emails to Korean producers and resellers, you can find the answers in the pictures below. I'm still pretty sure they are an old Hilco design. However, Wolverine W021 are the closest. Inviato...

Exactly. The OG071 looks very similar to me, but when we talk about shape SG301 are the best choice. There are a lot of pictures on the Web of various models. I guess it almost impossible to find it. The only way we could hope to find them is through ebay... who knows. Anyway here's the picture...

I really think they could be OnGuard, by Hilco. A lot of old models have the hinges just like Walt's. If you look for the titanium aviator model you'll see resembles with Walt's one. Now, I've removed the upper bar of the sg301. Unfortunately, I had to paint it silver because most of the bronze...

I did compared them too and it's pretty accurate. I'm looking forward to remove the upper bar from the frame. Too bad they are a little bit broken (nothing non-repairable, just some screws and a nose pad). I would be very grateful if you could call Hilco and ask them for infos about Walt's...

I just realised I didn't completely answer to your question. Yes, I bought them online from coolframes. May I ask you (or squidman) for a favour? I can't make international calls since I'm in Italy right now and my sim card doesn't support international calls. Can you call Hilco and report the...

Unfortunately there's no email available on the Web for Hilco, they have telephone numbers, or you can contact them directly from the website. That's what I did, hoping to receive a more accurate contact information because I couldn't send them the pictures of Walt's frame. Inviato dal mio...

I must say you're 100 % right about the shape. I don't actually remember contacting Hilco, but I'll give it a try. Now that I've seen the framework collection, let's say I'm 9/10 sure that they were made by Hilco. I could try to remove the upper bar from Hilco's SG301 and see if they actually...

I can't actually see the pictures you linked but I do have purchased (lucky you) an SG301 a while back. Unfortunately mine have spring hinges, so they don't actually look like Walt's. There's something wrong with Hilco glasses, though, in a frame from S2 I saw that inside the temples there's a...

Hello guys, I'm following this post since it first started. I've been interested with all the props (I personally own Walt's shoes, jacket and black rimmed eyeglasses). The thing I've been most obsessed with are Walt's original eyeglasses. The metal, safety frame (brown? Silver??) Who knows...

The simplest way is to cut them and then sanding them with sandpaper. Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk
