Welding lens ID

Hoping you guys can help with this. Dropped my lens while changing covers and it shattered. My coworker gave me this one. Been running fixed-shade 2x4’s for over 15 years, and this is the nicest lens I've ever run. I want another as a backup.

All it has written on it is T10H, white text, right in the middle on the side. This is an absolutely mirror-front lens, like the kind in your bathroom. No tint whatsoever. I usually run fairly high-dollar gold lenses, and this one is WAY better. It kicks the *** of any lens I've run before. Not sure if it's vintage or what. Any ideas? Thanks. Dan.

Does it have a blue tint to it?

Hard to tell with the picture. I have a American Optics Ice Blue in my hood. Love that lens

Does it have a blue tint to it?

No. The arc is white. As close to "real color" as a lens can be.

Go to your local welding distributor, and ask them to order you a Best Welds 932-115-X with the X being whatever shade you want. That should be your huckleberry.

I was in the welding game for a while, union pipe welder. During that time American Optics lens was the king by a long shot. Not so anymore?
I hated with passion auto lenses
