Description
Vintage Eikow Bull-Fight 7×21 wide angle binoculars, complete with their original-style brown leather carry case and strap.
These compact binoculars are marked “Eikow Coated Lens Wide Angle” and “Bull-Fight 7×21, Field 10°”, with serial number No. 85757. They are a small, lightweight and nicely made pair of vintage Japanese binoculars, ideal for collecting, theatre, travel, display, or general light use.
The binoculars are in good vintage condition overall. The black body covering is intact and presents well, with only light age-related marks and minor cosmetic wear. The main body, bridge and eyepiece areas are also in good condition for their age.
The optics are intact and clean, and the binoculars produce clear images. The central focusing system and diopter adjustment work smoothly, and the folding bridge adjusts as it should.
The leather case is included and has a red interior lining. The case shows age-related wear, marks, fading and general signs of use, but remains a nice period accessory for the binoculars. The leather strap is also attached to the case.
