I found a small stash ofthese lightweight, porro prism 6x30 binoculars in what seems to be as-new condition, dated and issued from the late1950’s to the early 1990’s. That time span is very unusual for military gear. They obviously got it right the first time. (Date may vary from photo). These typically retail for between $150 and $175. You can Google “Czech military binocular” to verify that. My Buy It Now price is less than the typical bulk purchase wholesale price. Probably the brightest, clearest six-power viewing experience you can get. Each pair is engraved with date, depot number and the famous “crossed swords” of the Czech military. Mint and clean, both inside and out. The prism is fog free and all lenses are scratch free. Individual focusing eyepieces, fully coated optics, with internal range reticle. Complete with fitted and lined leather case. Includes the rubber eye cup protector, separate carry strap, and that strange leather piece I can't remember the name of. All accessories seem brand-new as they are still individually packed. The case shoulder strap is removable for belt carry. They measure about 6” x 4.5”, and weigh 1.05 lbs. The total weight, with the case and all the accessories, is a bit over 2 pounds. I have two case colors available. One is natural tan or brown leather and the other is an earlier issue OD pebble finish with a canvas strap. (Same mint binoculars, just different cases). Both cases show some minimal storage wear. The OD ones show field use with some having unit markings etc. Your choice; or mine if you don’t state a preference. Case clasp may vary from photos. How can I offer these at less than wholesale? Thank my " Lager Ratten" which loosely translates to "warehouse rats". Those are my good friends who scour many European armorys for the overlooked and always bargain priced military items. These are great for users other than collectors. Modern "compact" binoculars just can't deliver the clarity and brightness of this classic design. $9.70 by USPS Priority Mail to anyw in the US and only $29.90 USD by Global Priority Air to anyw else in the world. NOTE: All USPS shipping charges, Domestic and International, were increased AGAIN by an average of 5% in January 2009. “Oh no no, it ain’t me babe” GENERAL INFORMATION: Most items are shipped within 24 to 48 hours upon receipt of confirmed payment. (M-F) All items are professionally packed in sound boxes with an internal water resistant liner with a packing slip. I ask that a winning bidder notify me within a few days of the auctions close as to expected time and method of payment. I never inflate my shipping and handling costs to increase my profit on an item. I offer substantial combined shipping discounts on multiple wins. I can be contacted 24/7 by email at or by phone Monday –Friday from 8am to 5pm US EST at if you have any questions. DOMESTIC WINNERS: I use USPS Priority Mail (unless it is a very heavy item). It is a bit pricier than 1 st Class or Parcel Post but gets the item to you within two or three days and saves me from having to “dumpster dive” for used supplies. I add a $1 to $2 handling fee to each order to help pay for the average 11.5 minutes it takes to process and package a shipment. Do the math… it is less than minimum wage. Shipping charges are fixed rate because most of my listings are one-of-a-kind. They are based on mid-country delivery charges. I win some and loose some on this and basically break even. Every shipment comes with a free Tracking Number and Delivery Confirmation. INTERNATIONAL WINNERS: Para traducir este, por favor corte y pegue este e ir a y utilizar Google Herramientas del idioma. I have shipped to over 40 different countries and it is much more complex than “simple” US sales. Shipping is based on actual cost by Global Priority Mail and I add a $4 handling fee to cover packing and Customs Forms filling time. All shipments include fre... read more
