I was going through my late Father's things tonight and came across a old leather binocular case with the Swift logo embossed on the front. I opened it up and inside was a pair of PRISTINE Swift SKIPPER 7,50's (Old Mk11).
The glass is mint, the case is mint, even the screws that usually rust out over time are still black and all 4 caps are there. The only negative is that he engraved his drivers license number on the left front plate.
The serial number is 6-634078
At least I think that is the serial number. Can any one help me decode that into a mfg date or factory location? I would love to know when he purchased these and where they were made.
The other markings that I found are:
J-E10 and J-B142
Thanks in advance for your help!
