This small frame packs a wallop of game. From minty to deep jade green and them cut outs on the face to the temples. Hello.
A young Cari Zalloni was one of the two creative heads at Optyl's Austrian design offices, creating iconic designs for the Cobra and Saphira lines, amongst others - before heading off to start his own little eyewear label: Cazal.

Unworn deadstock/NOS in brilliant condition.
Frame: colors pop.
Original hardware shines bright: no verdegris/oxidation.
You can see the style number K11 stamped above the right brow just above the hinge (typical of early Optyl)
There are some very light surface scratches to the outfacing sides of the temples due to storage, but you have to hold the frame in the light and scrutinize to see. In no way detracts from wearability or awesomeness.

These frames are at least 40 years old and it is typical to require slight adjustments on any frame to fit any individual closer to perfect, handled by your eyecare professional.
