Condition: We are NOT experts on these ...but this nice example looks to be complete, fully functional (clear sight thru & thru, all zoom/leveling/adjustment knobs twist smooth, etc.) and in very good vintage/antique condition, cosmetic-wise. All we see is minor -to- moderate overall cosmetic wear from normal use and perhaps some heavier wear to the wood box (naturally...being that it's the protective case - has many scuffs, scratches, stains, dings, dents, etc. throughout) but we see no currently broken or missing parts/pieces. The vast majority of the original japanning/black enameling remains with just some artfully worn areas throughout. Lens is very clean and few of any obstructions. Same goes for the eyepiece. Box has beefy dovetail joints and absolutely remains structurally rigid & ultra strong. Original paper label is good shape at underside of lid. The unique, push-button latch works like-new and holds closed strong. Hinges are solid. PLEASE REVIEW ALL OF THE PICTURES CAREFULLY.
