other info

• This is Shuron's famous Browline frame, later named the
  
  Ronsir. You can see the earlier version here in the catalogue
  
  we have from 1953. The only difference are the plaques
  
  or shields on the front, by the late 50's when ours was made,
  
  they changed from the trademark rectangle to the more familiar
  
  arrowhead shape. Here is an ad from 1959 showing our pair,
  
  now named Ronsir. A beautifully made combination frame,
  
  the ad is actually announcing the new anodized aluminium
  
  finishes. Ours is one of the 8 zyl pairs they mention - called
  
  Briar Grey, a stripey grey colour - and it is in great condition,
  
  looks new. FYI: Shuron are still going today - since 1865 -
  
  but they stopped making these high gold content frames in
  
  the 1960's.
