Pictures show some paint wear, but seller states lenses are strong, clear, and scratch free (I hope)? From doing a little research, I found out they were part of 1944 military purchase of 120,000 binoculars from Westinghouse, at $90 each. If anyone else has any information on these that I could you, please post. THANKS!!
