i have just picked up a pair of mint sears 10x50 binoculars, dead ringers of my swift audubons, but a little larger, same b type body, large eyepieces, coatings etc. written on the prism plates is, left hand plate. sears model no 6277-A super wide angle BAk -4 prisms fully amber coated optics. right hand plate, discoverer 10x50 420 ft a 1000 yds magnesium body cf-00631. on hinge bar jb 56 [hiyoshi kogaku co ltd ] i bought these in mint condition complete with case and filters. the image is very sharp [ central ] and very bright and wide. a joy to use, a keeper to go with my 8.5x44 and 10x50 audubons. [ plus some other extreme wide angle binoculars and astro gear ] a clone it maybe , but a very good one. i am a huge fan of wide angle optics both terrestrial and astro, i dont like looking down drainpipes -just no wow factor in it for me.
