Hello All, new here but not to birding. Have been looking for older Zeiss binocs for a while now, "won" a decent looking 10X40B T*P for a low bid on that site. It's enroute but saw this today for any who may be interested, not too shabby: Zeiss 7 x 45B T*P Night Owl Field Cutter | eBay I've no affiliation, just passing a find along.

Looks like a great find, congrats! I love the color too - didn't know Zeiss made any green binos!

Nice find.
I have this model , mine is in mint condition and marked 7 x 45 T*P* in "Black Forest" colour.
It is superb , and my favourite , even though it is a plastic binocular

Looked at these but then after reading the description it looks like they may need repairs. Notice the inner right side.

A superb bino; big and heavy, but a beautiful view. Mine had some dust or haze in the right-side eyepiece, but Zeiss-US cleaned it and made it perfect again.

Actually this pic, notice how it differs from the other barrel.

This is the other side which looks normal, notice the top pic though, it looks like something had been shifted, possibly due to impact. This is mentioned in the description as well.

But...but... Abbe Koenig prisms! No, you are correct, I missed that, given I'd nicked my pair, didn't apply the usual scrutiny, Apologies.
