A finely machined central focusing wheel allows for smooth adjustments, ensuring clear and precise magnification.

This set includes its original fitted leather case, which features a distinctive textured finish, a hinged lid with a brass closure, and a curved form designed to perfectly fit the binoculars. The interior is lined in a soft fabric, providing protection and an added touch of luxury. The case’s well-worn leather exterior tells the story of a life well-traveled, making it a charming collector’s piece. See less
