Colimation's problem, Eschenbach Trophy As/p 8x40 b WW - anyone to repair in France or EU? (1 Viewer)

Hello, I've just bought second hand (near mint) Eschenbach Trophy As/p 8x40 b WW but there is a colimation problem : a lateral shift of the two pictures.
I can send it back to the seller which seems honest but I prefer to fix it.
I've rapidly tested it against the Nikon action ex 8x40 and optically the Eschenbach feels superior, the Nikon is better for ergonomy I'd said
Anyway, is anybody know who or which repairer could fix it ?
I live in France but I'm ok to send it in UE to professionnal or potentialy trusted people.
I've sent an email to Eschenbach too, I'm waiting for answer but the customer service of this brand is not known for its effectiveness.
I guess it will be fixed by screws under the armor and the offset seems only lateral so maybe "simple"

Thank you for reading and helping you if you can
Edit : original message was posted in french, probably because of automatic translater of my phone... apologize for that...

Or if anyone know where is the adjustment screw even if I know that Eschenbach is not very widespread...

Eschenbach answered me 3 days next my message, they gave me the list of opticians they work with (I don't know if this sentence is correct so if you can correct me for this one I'll be glad - for the others mistake, please forgive me, one step for today ^^). I brought the bino yesterday and they sent it today to Eschenbach. I'm expecting their analyse and I imagine their quote for a recalibration...
 
So, Eschenbach apparently could repair for 105€ excluding taxes but they proposed to me an exchange for the same price to getting the new Trophy 8x42 P.
I accepted that so i'm wainting a new bino for almost 140€ including taxes and shipping.
I'm curious about this new model especially the light transmission (which was very good in AS/P) and the vignetting (which is bad on AS/P). The IPD is already better on the new
