Zeiss AS63-840 owners:

 

If you have a complete version of this scope, with all accessories,  please post a pic of the box open, showing what goes in all those intricate storage compartments !

 

Also still trying to find a Zeiss manual for it

 

Thx

Bob

Some pics of my old B63 from the earlie 20ies - should be the same as the AS - it seems it always depends on what the first buyer wanted to have and the wooden holder are then indiviudally made for his wishes...

Yes, "magnificent" is the word for this !

 

Wow, everything is in there, even the mount & tripod.

Good that this has been kept together and taken care of so well, very rare to see a 100-year-old kit that complete.

With all our 'modern' scopes, they just don't make them like THAT anymore !

 

Thank you Donadani for sharing this with us
