Vintage binoculars with Serial No: 6 4 2 7 2 5
This is where only the right eyepiece and central focus moves. No chips, cracks or haziness to any of the lenses but :
Right lens : a 2×3 mm obvious patch seen towards the edge which moves as the eyepiece moves but at times it doesn’t move with it. Near to it are 2 other smaller patches and similar ones elsewhere but all these are faint and easy to miss.
Left lens : when I look straight ahead to the sky or green trees/bushes I can’t see any marks but depending on how I move the binoculars and when I look at the lens (and not ahead) I can see several bubble like marks near the edge in the lower half of the lens which appear to be on the glass below the front lens.
Back lenses : several light and some dark coloured spots, lines and patches on different layers of the glass on both back lenses but it’s less on the left side (the one that is behind the right front lens).
That said, you can still see things clearly when viewed from the front.
Please note the loss of colour, marks and filling in the joints of the binoculars, and marks and condition of the case etc.
I have spent several hours trying to see as much as possible and I have seen things at a later time which I missed earlier, so who knows an expert might see things that I have missed. So yes, I understand it is risky buying these from someone who has no expertise and all I describe is what I can see, so please bear this in mind. I wish to be accurate and nothing is deliberately with-held. It is hard to describe second hand optics as it can be subjective so do consider this, and don’t hesitate to ask any questions to clear your doubts. We all need to be happy with our eBay experience. With all this in mind I have priced it accordingly.
With the case, it weighs over 1400 gm so cost of Royal Mail Tracked & Signed to Russia and former USSR countries will be 17.25 (I now add ebay’s fees as well).
Please be aware of your country’s customs and tax to procure the item.
