Carl Zeiss Jena “Deltrintem” 8 x 30 binoculars serial number 7300856. These binoculars, with their very high serial number, are probably some of the very last Zeiss glasses ever to bear the world-famous doublet lens “Carl Zeiss Jena” Kuithan logo introduced in 1904 .They were manufactured in 1991, after the re-unification of Germany, at the former DDR Zeiss plant in Eisfeld, near Jena. Later that year the company was sold to Docter Optic who continued production of the model but under their own brand. Already gone is the “Made in DDR” script to now replaced by the previously-used “Made in Germany,” found on all Zeiss products until 1945. And in this “transitional” model certain new features, which were to be carried over into the Docter version, already appeared, namely the new pattern cast-alloy focus wheel and matching outer eyepiece shells, together with foldable rubber eyecups. The Deltrintem itself, introduced in 1920, was one of the most successful ever Zeiss models, a truly versatile compact binocular, always to hand. And the addition of  T3M multi-coated optics, introduced in 1976 by Zeiss DDR as a world first, made it even more popular as the ultimate”all-purpose” glass.  Optical condition of these binoculars is excellent for an original, un-restored example. Internally they are crystal-clear, totally free from fungus and haze. All lenses, prisms and optical coatings are pristine and unmarked and collimation is perfect, no trace of a double image. Cosmetic condition is likewise excellent, relatively new binoculars which have had little use, with just a few signs of usage. So an historic binocular which, I hope, will find a place in a collection of this great marque. Sold with original top-loading “luxury” case, case strap and lanyard. For full technical description please see Zeiss catalogue page included in the photos (of the former pre-1991 version). The binoculars will be very carefully packed in a well padded box for dispatch and sent fully insured. I never end auctions early so there is no “buy-it-now” price. Postage:- UK Royal Mail First Class Signed 6-55. Europe Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed 12, rest of world 17. Payment or email contact required from the winning bidder within 24 hours of auction end. Please see my other binoculars for sale – reductions for combined postage (cheapest item free.)
