I bought a set of Victory 10x42 FLs off Craigslist in a city I don't live in. I have a friend who does however and she'll be picking them up for me.
Everything seems to be on the up and up and the seller says that they're the FL model but I figured I'd give her a couple things to look at when she picks them up to make sure they're what I'm looking for.
Am I correct that the body material changed from that grippy rubber on the original Victories to slicker plastic in the FL models? Are there any other identifying marks she should be looking for? Are they specifically marked as "Victory FL" on the binoculars themselves?
Thanks much,
Alan
