Couple of vintage Swifts (1 Viewer)

Picked up a couple more additions to my growing vintage swift collection, cheap buys but quite nice bins in great condition. A Swift Ascot MK1 8x30 and a GREENS 8X40 fast focus. The Ascot is a neat little binocular, nice to hold and clean and bright. The Greens surprised me, they are not bad at all, and would be an ideal Horse racing binocular, nice and light, wide angle, and the quick focus is perfect for it, full range in half a turn.
