Vintage B&L Bausch & Lomb 10X45, 10 Power 45MM Apert. US Military ? Binoculars

Description: I can find very little info on these rather rare binos, but they appear to be pre WWII due to the construction and designation (10 power 45mm apert., not just the10X45 from later years.)They are in good condition showing paint wear, but the vulcanite(?) material is complete with no cracks or chips. The objectives look nice with a few very minor scratches; (difficult pic to get w/o reflections-used additional flash), eyepieces similar glass (all uncoated, of course). There's some light haze on the prisms with some tiny specks/spots. It looks like the stuff that will clean off; maybe, or maybe not fungus, but doesn't appear to be serious if you can get in and clean them. They are slightly out of collimation horizontally, but still put up a nice SHARP image which will only improve when the optical train is cleaned and collimated. The case is in fairly decent condition, showing wear and coming apart just a bit on the top cover . A black leather dye job would most likely make it look quit nice again! Thanks to ebay/PayPal's current draconian policies regarding returns, we will no longer sell most items as working, but rather "officially" as parts, not working. Also, thanks to the same policies, we will no longer ship directly to any country other than the US. Any overseas buyers must buy thru the ebay shipping program. Everything is sold AS-IS; NO WARRANTIES offered on anything. The purchaser, upon receipt, might not agree as to our assessment of condition, but that's what it was HERE and it's being sold officially for parts or not working. It may or may not work at all when you get it! NO RETURNS or REFUNDS! If you do not agree with these terms DO NOT BUY IT!
