Curious about old Sans & Streiffe binoculars (#995) (2 Viewers)

Stumbled across these old Sans-Streiffe binoculars - Model #995, 10x35 - which I know nothing about.

I've always been intrigued by this magnification - but in my searches, both here and elsewhere, I'm not coming up with much.

They seem to be on the compact side.

Do any vintage or old porro enthusiasts know anything about them?
 
if you google "streamline brand binoculars" you will find the info - most of what I've seen are 7x35's but the 10x variant was a new one to me... well made, heavy, BaK4 prisms- coating seem to be single mag coating so not that bright- sharp, with a good focuser. The weird right objective is the diopter adjust (like on some zoom binocs) Pat
