Great find, @scotrace. Thank you.
I just sent a note to "TheSpecsShop" inquiring about his shield and hinge construction. Regardless of the answer, at $45 with free shipping they look like winners. I'm always interested in comparisons, however, and Moscot's Lemtosh is a good baseline. Have you...
Thanks, @Blackadder. This is immensely helpful.
I'd LOVE to nab a pair of frames from Julius Tart, but they don't ship to the United States, unfortunately. I do have family living outside of London, so I may have to get creative (ship frames to London, family ships frames to me).
TVR will ship...
Because I cannot remove the Allyn Scura Ginsberg frame listed above in the original post, I'd like to point out a design decision that ultimately lead me to return my pair last week.
Unfortunately, the Ginsberg's frame is wider than the temple, not creating a flush 90 degree angle. In addition...
Can I get some adjectives, please?
Again, I haven't handled TVRs. I own two pair of Lemtosh suns, and while they're acceptable, I don't believe their value is anywhere near $280/frame.
Great find, thanks. The TVR504 has raised rivets and a clip-on option. Nice. What's not so nice is the $475 price tag — steep compared to most other reproductions available.
@Blackadder have you personally handled a pair?
I'd like to:
Compile a list of Tart Arnel reproductions currently available.
Compare these various makes and models.
To get us started:
Allyn Scura Ginsberg
Courtland Producer
Dolabany Arnold
Julius Tart Optical AR (Japan)
Max Pittion Livingston
Moscot Lemtosh
Old Focals J.D.
Shady...
Have you handled a pair of Dolabany Arnold's? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm apprehensive to purchase without seeing a pair in person, first.
For example, I own a pair of official reproduction Tart Arnel's, and Moscot Lemtosh. The Tart's acetate thickness is much, much more substantial...

What's your Red Wing vs. Astorflex size?
I'm an 11 in Red Wing boots when wearing insoles, 10.5 without. I'm eyeing this exact pair of Astorflex's, but would like to avoid return shipping if possible (it's Earth Day, after all!). #consumeresponsibly
