Does anyone of you forum members now where these binos are available in the western hemisphere?

Elmer Fudd,
Some models (eg 7x50) look exactly similar to 6x42 porro's sold in the past to the Dutch military. At that time they were labelled Leica Ednar.

Hi Jan,
So, the roof you have must be very rare?
Interesting about current selling, I have an EDNAR 6X30 IF military type, green rubber armour, it,s mint condition, binocular, rain guards, straps and case all unused boxed, but I did not pay much for it as I remember, around £40 I think. Optically I think its very good.

Hi Ben,
According to the salesprice on your box, you got a bargain for that price.
I don't know the RRP of Katsuma bins, but they are indeed not bad.

Katsuma made bins.
Several EDNAR's (ex army) are offered regulary on the Dutch Fleebay and go around €300,00.
The thousends Nedinsco's were bought by Army dumpstores and were sold for €10,00. Nowadays these go for 25 times higher in poor condition:eek!:
Jan
According to the Katsuma website the 6x30 IF rubber without reticle is 21,000 yen (160 euro) ex. tax
The 7x50 without rubber is only 170 euro
I thought a Katsuma was a kind of small orange.
