About 4 years ago I inherited several rifles & shotguns & this pair of binoculars. I have seen a few pictures of these and from what I can see, the one I have is in excellent condition. They have been in their original leather case (which is in good condition) for the past 35/40 years at least. Could anyone give me an approximate value? I would greatly appreciate any information. Thank You

I recently bought a Delactis on eBay UK for £80 sterling (I guess that's roughly $120 US, give or take a few). A few days later another one in less good condition that mine went for £141 ($200 or so).
Is that any help? Delactis was a Carl Zeiss Jena classic in its day and is wonderful to view through, but it was discontinued in 1936. That makes it a collectable antique, I would say. |
