The serial number is 571613. Incredibly they look almost new. I would be surprised if another example this nice exists. The scarce sharkskin type covering is very similar to the same type of covering found on certain early Leica cameras and affords a better grip on the glasses. These binoculars feature the very early Nippon Kogaku Tokyo Kanji logo, have no MIOJ marking and are uncoated on any of the optics. This is why we believe then to be pre MIOJ and may date before WWII.The prisms are in beautiful condition showing only the slightest bit of haze with no spots, fungus dirt or crud. The individual eyepieces focus smoothly. The un-coated objectives are also pristine with no scratches haze fungus or separation. The collimation is excellent with a good clear crisp and contrasty view.I’m sorry there is no case. I bought them this way without a case from another collector. If you are a collector of vintage Nippon Kogaku binoculars this pair would make a great centerpiece for your collection.This item is from a private collection and a smoke free home.
