Hello everybody, i need your help on the following subject.
While going for the first time through my dad’s possessions, even though he passed away several years ago, I have found a couple of Zeiss binoculars.
They are
1. a 15 x 60, still in its polystyrene shell and outer carton box, complete with all original papers and warranty, dealer’s stamp, etc… it was purchased on March 1st, 1985 at “Die Optik” shop in Celle, Germany.
2. a 8x56B with its black leather case, eye cups and original instruction sheets. I would say it comes from the late 80’s or early 90’s. Presumably bought at the same shop in Germany.
3. a 30 x 60 B / GAT complete with its Focusing Motor. Both in their polystyrene shell and outer carton box, warranty (not stamped) and instructions. Again, both were purchased in Germany in the late 80’s, early 90’s.

All of them are literally New Old Stock.
I am wondering how much they are worth, as I am not going to use them.
When I say they look absolutely new is because they truly appear to be like that, and I am trying to describe them to the best of my knowledge and in the most honest way. To give you a better idea I’m linking here a few videos and pictures I made. Should you need any more info in order to give a more accurate quotation, please feel free to reply here or directly to my email [email protected]
I thank you all for your precious help. I appreciate that.
Best regards
Luca

Luca,

Welcome to Bird Forum! It looks like you have discovered the "Mother Lode!"filone principale?"

Suggest you contact Binomania and Signore Piergiovanni Salimbeni for help with this. I think they even speak Italian there or at least one of it's dialects.

Then open up a bottle!B :)

Centi di questi giorni!

Luca,

You have received an amazing collection of rare / desireable Zeiss optics that any one of us here would lust after.

I have dreams about finding cache's like yours - lucky guy!

Cheers
