These binoculars were newly designed in the late 1950s with a different layout of internal prisms making them shorter and very lightweight at 9.5 cm H, 490g.

Good used condition, see pics. Show general signs of light use with some minor paint loss- photos represent them well

Internally and externally glass is immaculate with a great view- some few edge (cleaning) marks but these do not affect view. These binoculars often have internal haze but these have receipt of a 1970s Zeiss servicing from which they clearly have benefitted.  A couple of internal dots / dust specks again not affecting viewing.

Focus is a little stiff but improves with use. Collimation is spot on. Good quality original Zeiss case and both straps intact and clasp working.

Good quality rarer Zeiss binocular
