[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]What I have here is a pair of very old and well-used Leitz binoculars, 6 X 30, standard (not roof) prism variety, small-ish, apparently military, individually focusing eyepieces, which should tell you the age. very badly brassed (I know some of you like that) and for an extra touch of versimillitude, the right side is hazy -- the prison mirroring inside has some corrosion. They are usable, but not all that much. Sort of like shooting with one of those Ur-Leica reproductions. Come in a military-style very hard I am just guessing Bakelite case, or something, very sturdy, with a military style clip on the back and snap-type stubs on the bottom to fasten down inside a vehicle. All very rugged. But, as I say, they are very badly worn, uncoated optics so I am guessing probably world war II vintage. I have no idea of their value, mostly I just hate to throw away anything marked Leitz. So, first $35 to me gets them, and that includes $5 shipping. Offers entertained (I do yo-yo tricks, they love that stuff). Summicron1@aol.com please reply privately as I don't go through digests all that religiously.
