Vintage Binocular Catalogs (1 Viewer)

Hi All,

Have been reading the forum for a while and have learnt a lot but first post so please be nice to a newbie. |=)|

In order for me to learn more and appreciate some old bins while not having a huge collection myself I've been scouring past threads and on the web looking for vintage binocular catalogs but not having much luck. I'm especially looking for the well know brands like Nikon, Swift, Zeiss or price listings for stores that sold more than one brand. I do have the 1995 Eagle Optics Catalog from this forum which is great and a few old Zeiss ones.

In quite a few threads I've seen the odd page or two of catalogs attached by helpful forum regulars, but would it be possible to have a thread here where everyone can share what they have as I'm guessing I'm not the only one who would appreciate it?

Thanks
 
Since I've asked for contributions it seems only fair that I post everything I have found so far from my own searching. Mostly these links are to existing posts where forum members have kindly posted originals but I figure nice to have them all in one thread for future reference. Hoping that we can add more in the future!

Using the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive should work but I don't know if it will always work, so you should copy the pages that you are interested in or even save the HTML files into folders on your computer. For example: Wayback Machine
