[Lel]

I have ross gunsight binocilars 10x79 binoculars. The lens have dust inside snd need to clesn them. Does anyone know how to open for vlesning

World war 2 vintage ?

These are antiques really, and you may damage them if you try to 'open for vlesning'

Instead, i would look at getting them professionally cleaned and serviced.

These might be worth a significant amount of money, and inexpert attempts to dismantle or clean them is likely to reduce their value.

Helllo,

I think you will find that these are 10 x 70 and 10 x 79. I used to have a pair back in the late 1970's. I curently have a Ross 10 x 80 battleship one in an original wood box. I would not atempt to open these for cleaning if I were you. this is a job for an expoert binocular restorer to be honest. Do you have the wood box for these ? A photo would be nice if you could take one.

It should read and not 10 x 79.

I've done some more research on these, and they date to 1947 ish according to Hans seeger's book on military binoculars, so just post WW2. They were used as am aiming device with big guns.
