[QUOTE="Stephen Prower, post: 3507120, member: 115634"] Binastro; Ben; David I report some new 'discoveries': 1. If you wish to see photos of the inside of a Chinese binocular plant, load: [url]https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/AX8-6x24-old-binoculars_60240560982.html?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.FKvnIb[/url] If your experience is the same as mine, to get to the relevant images: * I clicked on the first image on the web page * I got a blank new tab * I closed the tab * I then found that I was offered by way of an overlay 33 images, including 15 images of the 'Company', and 12 of the 'Production line' * I kept on paging through the images, skipping over numerous repeated images, and eventually managed (I think!) to see all 33 images. As I gather the name of the company in question is Yingtan Aoxiang Photoelectricity Co., Ltd., or Aoxiang for short. Aoxiang is described as a 'China (Mainland) | Manufacturer, Trading Company'. 2. I have now found a webpage for the Comet 6x24 Individual Focus type that does not repeat the specification for the Central Focus type: [url]https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Best-selling-6x24-binoculars-with-bak4_60133917854.html[/url] The webpage gives more plausible figures for the Field of View, namely 8*, and the Close Focus Distance, namely 3m. Unfortunately the webpage supplies no figure for the resolution. Binastro will observe particularly that the photos on the webpage feature a binocular that bears no markings at all apart from the figures '6x24'. Ie it is left to the customer to add the Mauser cosmetics later! 3. Otherwise by way of odds & sods: a) I still haven't found any documentation on the web for the Comet 6x24 Central Focus type that lists figures other than 10.8* for the FOV, and 1.8m for the Close Focus Distance b) I have found on Ebay figures of 368g for the weight of the Comet 6x24 Individual Focus type, and 520g for the weight of the Centre Focus type c) I have found a photo on the web of another Comet 6x24 Central Focus type that bears a 'unique' serial number, in its case 762109.
