Hi vrf,
I ALMOST... bought one two month ago, also mint, really MINT, condition. As its leather box. This pair was in perfect collimation and were a pleasure to look throught it! Fantastic. But (always there is some but...) the price was higher than I wanted to pay, U$ 700. I have other three binoculars, a Meopta Meostar 8x32, a Swarovski Habicht 10x40 WGA and a recent (it will arrives tomorow night...) Zeiss Victory HT 10x42. So that 8x50 would be reasonable, as a curiosity and to own another binocular made in the old style "as in the good old days" like the Habicht, at another price, to me. But I like it VERY MUCH!!! Great piece of optics and mechanics
Good luck with yours!

Thank you, Troubador. Tonight my brother in law, a commander at LAN airlines, will arrives with the blue box...
As I told vrf the 8x50 I almost bought was one of the binocular I really like!
Ah! By June I will be in GB with my wife visiting our eldest son, an economist who lives in London. There we will meet with my two daughters who are around Europe, to go to treck somewhere in Scotland. Hope our 4th "child", the other boy will be able to join us...for the family reunion...!
