Bench report

Functional
Optics clear front and rear. Standard RMS thread, undamaged, turns freely by hand. This objective needed no cleaning. It came to the bench clean and was inspected as found.
Cosmetic
Light handling marks on the chrome; green band slightly worn. Engraving fully legible. Comes in the clear screw-top canister shown.
Tested
Optics inspected under direct light and against a bright field. Front and rear elements examined at magnification. · No haze, no fungus, no balsam separation, and no chips visible in the glass. · RMS objective thread inspected for burrs, cross-threading, and dings. None found. · Every legible engraving read under raking light and transcribed exactly as marked (see Specifications).
Not tested
NOT mounted on a microscope. I do not have a matching stand for it, so resolution, field flatness, parfocality, and working distance at magnification are NOT verified. · No disassembly, recollimation, or internal service performed. · Sold as a used optical component, not as a calibrated or certified instrument.
