Note:
The binoculars are in used vintage condition with cosmetic age wear to the exterior. The metalwork shows visible oxidation, surface wear, paint loss, patina and age-related marking, especially around the prism plates, bridge, rims and eyepiece areas. The brown/black textured body covering is complete, with age wear and discolouration but still fitted well to the body.
The eyepieces and objective lenses are intact. The optics are clean internally and the binoculars produce clear images when viewed through. So these binoculars are very useful as they are.
Both eyepiece focusing mechanisms work well and binoculars open / close as normal.
Please study the photos for further details.
