VALDADA IOR B / GA 7x40 military binoculars (infrared filter), Romanian Army Surplus - like new

Romanian company IOR Valdada optics has been making quality optics since the mid 1930s. At WW2 the company was drafted by German forces.  During the war they produced a wide range of military optics.  When Romania was absorbed into the Warsaw Pact, IOR Valdada became a major supplier to the military forces of the East.  Along with the Carl Zeiss firm, IOR supplied military grade optics throughout the cold war era. 

IOR B/GA 7x40-R binoculars has a body made of steel and a heavy rubber armor covering.

The lenses have a T3 Magnesium Fluoride, anti-reflex multi-coat which IOR claims to provide 98% light transmission.  The bright image appears to be slightly yellow-amber.  This provides good contrast for normal lighting and cuts down on eyestrain when viewing in bright conditions.
