Up for sale are a vintage pair of beh binoculars. Sorry, I only have basic knowledge of these things and the following description is based partly on research which I hope is correct. Firstly, I think the code ‘beh’ refers to Ernst Leitz and the binoculars were for use in the second world war. I cannot date them through the serial number and I do not know if they were for Army or Naval use. Cosmetically, I would describe them as fair for their age. Obvious signs of age, wear and use. The original eye cup guard (feels like bakelite perhaps) is still in place. Strap is very old and worn but unsure if this is original. The covering fabric is lifting somewhat at the seams on both barrels. Both focusing eyepieces function ok. Internally, the optics will require attention. One side shows as very dirty which looks to me like fungus. The other side is hazy and there is a small chip on the side which I imagine would be on the prism. That’s the best I can do but please use the zoom feature of the photos for a better idea of general condition. Offered for sale on a sold as seen basis. Any questions welcome.
