    The bino's and case are original East German military bino's. There's a serial number of them but I haven't been able to find any additional information from that [serial numbero(

    If you want to find out a bit more about your bino you can ask Zeiss directly.

    https://www.zeiss.com/corporate/int/about-zeiss/history/archives.html

    If it is from the east german army (NVA) or the border force (Ministerium des Inneren, MdI) you could probably get the year and the month of production.There is even a still working company which gives these binos a complete overhaul.

    Good used ones get prices above 300€ easily.;)

    I have no idea how people survive having to take a London tube everyday, what a soulless form of transport.

    Shopping done, 3 hours to pick up then 6 hour passenger flight back to the heat.

    @Witchie..... still trying to work out in my head if you are a star or nuts :):) BTW, did the landlord pay up?

    @ Witchie, the best of luck with your new. You are a brave woman, especially leaving a place you have grown to love.

    I am in work sneezing. AaaaaaaaChoooooooo!!!!

    Cheers, I'll try that link later.

    I'm surprised these might be worth anything, I've had them years and they've been everywhere with me. There's not a scratch on them except the thread on the case is coming undone.

    I was going to have the case repaired, we have a saddler in work who'd do it. But other than that they're like new, even the interior of the case is still bright red velvet and has a nice new smell.

    Well, to the here and now.. Although I came off a 24 hour shift this morning I'd loads planned (or my daughter had loads planned for me), so just got an hour sleep & got dragged out to collect her car, back home now and milling the coffee into me and getting ready for a run (hopefully around six o'clock).

    Watching Paul O'Grady 'For the love of Dogs', one of my fav shows and defo Ruby's (my staffy). Ruby loves dog shows.

    If you love dogs (who doesn't) this show is beautiful.

    Best of luck Witchie!

    Mam, I shall try to join in, but, having a look at the thread makes me feel slightly lost :o

    I’m used to making a show of myself though, so I’m game :D

    I’m currently on the couch waiting for delivery of my OH’s birthday present.
    It’s being delivered by fastway, so I’m doubting if it will show up at all :eek:

    Watcha get him? I guess you could say there not so fast after all 😀😛.

    An iPad for his birthday and an Apple Pencil for father’s Day.

    Hope he doesn’t see this :pac:

    I’m on the couch reading.

    Put my name down too, I'd love some homemade cake, can you do either a fresh sponge with cream and jam/strawberries or coffee and walnut cake? I'll do some babysitting in return, I love newborns..

    Fresh sponge with cream and jam is my OH’s favorite. That or a meringue “cake”. Layers of pavlova sandwiched with cream and strawberries and a strawberry coulis drizzle :D

    Whatever the birthday boy or girl wants, I try my best to whip up :D
