Thank you for looking at these fantastic Carl Ziess 8×30 JENOPTEM Binoculars.
They are in fantastic condition. They come with Binocular strap, rarely found rubber cushions for eye pieces as well as all 4 lens covers (x1 cracked cover) and a superb condition leather case with strap.
The Binoculars have the DDR stamp (indicating that they are one of the few quality products to come out of the East).
They have the SEVEN figure German serial No 4916649
All of the following checks out for these fantastic glasses to be the real deal:
If the bino is a Jenoptem in the above sizes and has a six figure serial number it is not German made. Equally if it has any letters in the serial number it is a fake. Genuine binos always have a seven figure serial number. The focusing wheel will be black plastic and has a ring impressed into the front. Genuine article is metal, smaller and usually has minor paint loss. Smooth paint and a rubbery feel are on the fakes. German article has dappled paint and a slightly slippery feel. Fakes are always marked as multicoated. On the real thing the screw on the top plate is right beside the ‘D’ of Multicoated, on the fake it is about three-quarters of an inch away. All will have ‘DDR’ or ‘Made in DDR’ somewhere on the genuine binos. That means they were made in the old East Germany.
