wow. very nice! I think your lenses are more red/purple than mine. so maybe I have fire lenses actually...
also you're right about the the hinges! these frames feel really fragile because of them.

I had a madman with ruby lenses that look just like yours. Those are called frubies (fire/ruby) more orange than red and no purple hue. Ruby are very incosistent, if you get lucky you get the more sought after ruby like @Inkkoonce but if you're not then you'll end up with a fruby like me

Yeah the ruby with the purple hue is the rarer and more sought after. I like the fruby lens but only for nostalgic reasons

Some Rubies are Frubys though. When you look through the lenses which hue do you see? If a blue hue then you have Rubies.

Either way, frubies are stiĺl Ruby from the inside: they shouldn't be any other base colour than Blue. However, with the newer Prism and Ruby Polarized, that isn't the case any longer.
