The angled objectives remind me of a "light-sheet" microscope I have. Your listing could be for a similar application..

Ichty provided some useful links below. Most of the technical information is in German.

I've yet to find a use for it. I thought the base and focus block might be suitable as a macro stand.

What could it be used for...

I was thinking about using one of the tubes to direct light at a right angle. But once the idea is there, so is the realization that such a construction could be slef made, cheaper and more flexible.

What's that 10x objective, does it read NA=0.30? SHould be fluorite then.

Shipping to Europe would be $83 - that's a no-go for me.

Not necessary, it can be an achromat or plan achro. I own a Nikon Plan Achro 10/3.0, although it's an infinite CF more modern objective
When nothing else is written on the safest guess is just achro.
