My example, Serial No. 271588, bears the inscription on the right dewcap "Trilar 7X RLE 413" , and looks exactly like a B & L Zephyr of the same late 50's period, right down to the size of the diopter markings on the right ocular. The black pebble grain faux morocco covering is also similar to the B & L standard and noticeably nicer than the grey thermoplastic used on the later Swift Neptune models.</p></blockquote><p></p>
