LEICA 8x32 TRINOVID BINOCULARS

 German-made

You are bidding for an old pair of Leicas, still in very good condition despite obvious wear & tear.  I have never been able to do my birdwatching with any other pair, they have been myh faithful companion on all my birding trips and through them i have seen  over 4,000 birds, including a fair few rare ones such as:

Satanic nightjar

Hombron's Kingfisher

Philippine Eagle

inland dotterel

bourke's parrot

pirre bush tanager

all the grasswrens

to name but a few.  They belonged to Edmund Smith, who discovered the Bulo Burti Boubou Shrike in Somalia and identified it only by DNA (it was the first specimen to be recognised without being killed). 

CONDITION

Binocular body: obvious wear & tear

External glasswork: excellent, needs a good clean though

Internal glasswork: excellent

Mechanical operation: working

Case: obvious wear & tear

Note: There are two caps missing, but these would be easy to replace in a leica shop, and they bear no purpose other than hide a few screws anyway.  I used them as they were and they are still worth a lot of money and are in full working order.  At least these binoculars have served a special purpose and can still do this with a new owner.  You might even inherit my birding luck!! I have taken them with me everywhere (including forgetting them on the roof of the car..), Australia, New Zealand, south america, USA, Africa & Asia, hence the genuine vintage dirt! (last Trip New Zealand).  Any questions, feel free to ask!

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING!
