I recently inherited a pair of these binoculars. They are in fine condition in and out. The clarity of the lenses is unbelievable! These were purchased back in the late 1950's or early 1960's. Can anyone tell me what I have here? How do these stack up to newer binoculars? are they still manufactured? Where are they made? These are marked Binolux NO. T-7 37374 Coated, 10 x 50 300 ft at 1000 yds 4117. Any and all information and opinions are certainly welcome!

some of the binolux [ b ] bodied 7x35s from the 60s made in japan had high index prisms and a very wide f. o. v. not unlike the tasco 7x35 110s, sans and streiffe 7x35s 999s etc, and are well regarded even now.
