Dang. I’m having trouble finding pics of authentic pairs to compare.

Can someone share a photo of an authentic E-wire gen 1 hinge?

What Model M frame and Gen. did I just purchase.
And yes, the Earsocks are backwards and will be turned over as soon as in hand.

Gen 2 CB, Black strike lens..and quite prone to cracking at the temples.. the crystal series thermoplastics used for the Gen2’s are notorious for hairline fractures.

@TheStig is it in your possession? If not ask for bottom up pics of the temples. While the tops have no fractures, the bottom of the hinges may.
