Greetings, new member here, currently my wife and I are on vacation for the summer in Germany. Our son lives here with his German wife and we are set up in an apartment for 3 months. Pretty sweet deal for sure....We have lived all over the western US (New Mex,Ca,and Arizona) in the last 10 years, but have a home in Arizona and will return there this fall.
I am a casual bird photog, have been for years, and I have a pair of Zeiss binocs at home that I rarely use, because I am usually out with my camera!
Anyways, I picked up a pair of German binoculars in Münster, a decent sized city near where we are staying. We are in a 4 story apartment, next to the woods, and I figured I could use these while here to watch the magpies and other creatures from the window. They were 20 euros with a nice leather case. The binoculars seem to be have been made there in Münster. But alas, I can find nothing about them online. The optics seem great, and are in overall good condition. I want to post some pics to see if anyone knows who manufactured them or any info at all. I have a feeling that they may have been made for the war, but I am truly guessing. Should I post them in a different section of the forum?
Nice To Meet You All!
