I can not show the photos as it is only that the sale of the store, but when I get there the monster. Could be a 6x or 8x but the most curious thing is that the name Wetzlar is to left and Hensoldt to right in italics style and no other writing. Could be one of the early models? Thanks for your help. -------------------- Marco Bensi Telescope C.P.GOERZ 1270/110 - 1910 Binoculars Gallery http://www.flickr.com/photos/37533746@N03/sets/72157622478972171/ Blog: http://blog.libero.it/GOERZ/ Edited by Bensi (09/12/09 04:25 PM) Post Extras:       Simon S sage Reged: 01/07/07 Posts: 391 Loc: Crawley West Sussex UK Re: Help about binoculars Hensoldt Wetzlar [Re: Bensi]       #3330063 - 09/12/09 03:49 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Photograph? -------------------- My binocular collection recent first http://www.flickr.com/photos/binoculars/ My binoculars in Alphabetical order http://www.flickr.com/photos/binoculars/sets/72157613812824211/detail/ Post Extras:       Bensi sage Reged: 02/22/09 Posts: 239 Loc: Italy, Near Rome Re: Help about binoculars Hensoldt Wetzlar [Re: Simon S]       #3330126 - 09/12/09 04:24 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   This is the photos of seller. http://www.quicktest.co.uk/acatalog/info_hc_803_163.html Bye -------------------- Marco Bensi Telescope C.P.GOERZ 1270/110 - 1910 Binoculars Gallery http://www.flickr.com/photos/37533746@N03/sets/72157622478972171/ Blog: http://blog.libero.it/GOERZ/ Post Extras:       Simon S sage Reged: 01/07/07 Posts: 391 Loc: Crawley West Sussex UK Re: Help about binoculars Hensoldt Wetzlar [Re: Bensi]       #3331767 - 09/13/09 04:10 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Looks genulne and would say 6x without a doubt.
