I have a pair of Carl Schulz 10x50 COurier III binoculars. I am guessing they are probably from the 1960s or 1970s. I am curious to know anything about them, particularly whether my guess as to the age is close. I can't find any information about the company. They appear to be well made.

I have an U.S. Navy 7 X 50 Bausch & Lomb in his carrying case in very good original condition for sale. If there is an interest for this item, I can send pictures.

Is there a good reference source for the Leitz Trinovid, from first prototype with same configuration as the Amplivid, through to the "B" series? Too, where can I learn complete details of the Uppendahl roof prism design, and comparisons between it and other roof prism designs?

Does anyone know anything about the Voightlander range of binoculars of the 1930s? I have pairs of 8X30 and 8X40, both bought cheaply for £10.I cannot find any info on them and have never seen any others in 30 years. Phil. London UK

Hi

I'm trying to pin down a manufacture date for my Voigtlander 6x30's - any ideas where I can find some kind of database for serial numbers?

Thanks

I'm glad I found your site because you may be able to help me. I have a pair of my fathers vintage binoculars. They are labelled "Carl Schulz 7 x 50 M-No 8570" and
"Coated, Extra Wide Angle DENA". They are in excellent condition and in their original leather case. Can you tell me the approximate age of these. I am guessing 1940's/1950's.

Thank you.

I have a pair of Voitglander Crown M 3969N binoculuars believed to be WWII or earlier?
Etched number: 39553 on one side, the Crown logo and M 3969N on the other. Given Voigtlander's buyout history, I can't seem to find any specific info on this particular model. Would they be of interest to a collector? I'm moving, and don't want to just thrown them in the pile for junk collector. Any interest -- email me.

Hi, My grandmother recently passed away. Her husband was a great white african hunter and took royals on safari and people like earnest hemmingway. In her possessions i came across a pair of leitz 6x21 trinovis binoculars serial no 636046. Are they of any value? If not want them for your collection?

Gary,
I was searching for information about a particular pair of biboculars I found in my uncle's old hunting jacket that he's has not worn since the seventies. The make and model are Apollo 8X20, Field 7.5 degree fully coated optics, BAK-4 PRISMS, No. 8465 made in Japan. Can you give me any information about these binoculars? Also, I'm interested in purchasing 1970's military field binoculars to complete my collection of 70's Marine Field uniform I had while I served in the Corps. Can you tell me the make and model of the type of binoculars we used during the end of the Vietnam era?
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Best wishes,
Frank

I've enjoyed revisiting your site. You have an enviable collection, especially the prototypes. It is very difficult to find mint early examples. Recently I found a pair of Nikon 8X30s (ca 1960s) in perfect condition for £50 which I thought was very good. All of the shops in London I used to visit in the 1970s have closed. A great pity.

What a Beautiful collection of binos! Thank you for posting them for us all to see and enjoy!I especially enjoyed seeing your Leitz prototypes, really neat! I collect cameras and binos as well.I really like German, American, British and Swiss binoculars, but specialize in Nippon Kogaku( Nikko and Nikon) I have many Nikko 8X30's,7X50's 7X50 Japanese Imperial Navy 7X50's.Also a super rare pair of Nikko Spica's in the red paint finish,( only two known worldwide) and some early post Nikko, Nikon "Tropical" 7X50's I also really like my older Leitz Trinovids, Kern Focalpin 7X50's and some superb WWII USA Miltary glasses. Cheers! Martin in the Appalachian Mountains Of The USA.

Yours is an excellent and enviable collection - mine is a mere 24 pairs.I have a pair of Hensoldt WW2 Marine Dialyt 8X50 in a terrible state objectives shattered etc.Judging by case, look like they must have been subjected to a great deal of water. The favourites in my collection are 10X50 Zeiss (Oberkochen) porros, Hensoldt 8X20 diasport (mint) and prewar Voigtlander 8X40 -very solid.Thanks for sharing your collection. Phil
