    Description

    Truely a rare find in the US.  Swift Newport 10x50 wide angle (about 8°) JB-56.  If it wasn't for some minor brassing on the finish rings and plate edges (see pics), I would list these as mint.  Elsewise the binocs themselves are as they came new.  These were well constructed, with a metal bridge (no sloppiness when adjusting) and collimation by eccentric rings.  Unless you bang them or drop them they will stay perfectly aligned forever.  ALL glass is crystal clear.  No scratches, no fungus, no nothing except clear, sharp vision.  Perfect alignment.  Lubricated with Nygel for years of trouble free service.  Tripod socket on the bottom, as it should be.  I have included a pair of (not original objective caps).  Case is in new condition (sans straps).  If you are a Hyroshi (JB-56) fan this is not to be passed up.  Hyroshi made many wide angle binocs for Swift, including the Audubons and the very rare Kestral. Beautiful pair of binocs.  Made in Japan not China.
    Shipping to the lower 48 only by FedEx.  As I have described these accurately I will not accept returns unless the description is faulty.  Check my feedback.
