I'd be taking a very close scrutiny of the objective if I were in your shoes - the corrosion on the thumb screws and the black filth on lots of places - degrading black foam by looks of it? - would lead me to believe it has had a life in the hands of someone who didn't take care too well.
Thanks for that. It wasn't looked after well and was from a deceased estate however I will give it a good clean
