Note: This item is in good working condition for its age, no chips or cracks on the internal / external lenses, and the binoculars give a clear image. Internal lenses have been cleaned where possible and images have been tested/calibrated for correct visual alignment.
Please also note that for cleaning purpose, one objective lens tube (on the left) has been opened from its threaded joint (this joint is normally concealed under the leather armouring). The thread connection is very secure and it is now wrapped by black tapes, as shown in the photos below.
