Help Identifying Old Leica Binos

[slowelk]

Sort of unbelievable - I found these in a snowbank at my house as the snow has been melting this past week. Based on my google searches, I think these are mid-1990 Trinovids. The only exterior labeling says "Leica 10x42 BA". The glass looks to be in great condition, and they still seem to be purged as there is no visible internal moisture after being submerged in a snow bank for who knows how long. I'd appreciate any help identifying these and information on if they are still worth anything for use or for sale. If they are worth anything, I'd likely post to lost and found on Craigslist or in the newspaper.

Leica may have the last owner on record via the serial number.

The BA's were a fantastic bino! a bit bulky and heavy heavy but built to take some serious abuse as you can see. They were most likely built in the late 90's by looking at them.

Please send me an email with the serial number and I will forward it on to the customer care. They will certainly be able to give you a build date and if the original owner submitted their warranty information they can look that up as well.

Thanks and let me know if you need anything else.
