Description

A pair of rare vintage German 1919 Carl Zeiss Jena Telex 6×24 binoculars in good working condition.

Serial number: 1072345 (Note: this serial number suggests that these binoculars were made in 1919. More information can be found here).

The binoculars have 6x magnification and 24mm objective lens diameter.

Individual eyepiece focusing.

Dimensions (when binoculars fully open): 155mm (W) x 110mm (H) x 41mm (D)

Weight: approx. 438g (1.0 lb)

Comes with leather strap and original leather case (no strap).

Note:

Clean lenses and clear images for the age of these binoculars.

When looking through the objective lenses, there appears to be a chip to the edge of a prism, but this is not visible when viewing the binoculars in normal way through the eyepieces and it does not seem to affect the performance of the binoculars. The right eyepiece focusing knob feels a little tight when turning and some wd-40 lubricant has been added to improve its smoothness.

General wear and tear to the binoculars body and leather case appropriate with age and use.

Please see photos for further details.
