Avanti Racer Col. 14 Black Pilot Sunglasses — Unworn, Original, Handmade Italy

Condition
UNWORN. Preserved with all original hardware and lenses. A striking example of the Avanti Racer in its original configuration.

Frame Details

  • Brand: Avanti
  • Model: Racer
  • Color: Col. 14 — glossy black with contrasting layered detailing around the front
  • Shape: Oversized square pilot with a broad, sculpted bridge
  • Origin: Temple marked “FRAME HAND MADE ITALY”
  • Hardware: Original metal hinges and screws

The generous lenses, strong brow and slim temples give this pair a bold silhouette without excessive ornamentation.

Lenses
Original gradient lenses, appearing smoke grey with a subtle plum cast in the photographs, fading to a lighter tint toward the bottom. Retained in their original configuration with no replacement custom lenses.

Size & Fit
Oversized styling with substantial lens coverage. Numerical measurements are not visible in the supplied photographs; lens width, bridge, temple length, lens height and total frame width should be measured before publication.

Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance
A confident pilot design with the dramatic proportions associated with vintage sport and fashion eyewear. The layered front adds depth, while the restrained temples keep the focus on the silhouette. An exact production decade has not been verified.

Authentication
The photographs document the Avanti Racer branding, Col. 14 designation, Italian handmade marking and hinge construction. Complete the independent Second Chance Authenticators inspection and accompanying COA/QR registration before representing authentication as finalized.

Notes
Unworn describes wear history; vintage frames may still develop age-related changes during storage. Lens material, polarization and UV protection should be verified through inspection rather than inferred from appearance.
