    Hi all, just an update on my partially, tongue in cheek posting. This technique cleared away the mould. For the perfectionist, the watermarks still diffuse the light and flatten the quality of the image.This technique is certainly not perfect. Also these watermarks are probably likely to...

    Hi all, used low calorie coke to internally purge the binoculars. One pair still have some fungus as after images on the prisms mainly in one barrel. The other pair have some water marks remaining from my unorthodox treatment. Still I am amazed at the quality of the 8x30 after this treatment...

    Thanks for that Binastro, it has not been back! Not for the faint hearted but this is how I got both pairs partially useable but not absolutely perfect. I did not want to dismantle and clean the prisms because the collimation was good and I personally do not have the expertise to realign their...

    Thanks LPT for your complete information. What highly cursive calligraphy they used in those times. This pair have that particularly obnoxious, etched on glass type, of fungus on the prisms. They also seem to momentarily, fog brown, nicotine cloud internally, very strange!

    Binocular id. Hi M, enclose further photos to aid id. Actually it reads jagdglas not stadglas, 8x50. The eyecups are really aged plastic, not bakelite as I originally thought. The body has been worn smooth by much handling.

    Hi Binastro, enclose a barely readable logo. The other mantle is marked stadglas like a lot of them are. Used a scope by these makers early on never even considered they could have made bins. They are like Wray and others optically. The lenses appear completely uncoated but they have that...
