Lot 586 Lot of 3 Vintage Swarovski Binoculars.
A lot of three Austrian made Swarovski Optik Habicht binoculars. These sets of binoculars are light-weight vintage sets of optics. Low-powered optics are great for bird watching and low light situations. Swarovski has been producing high quality optics since 1949, and their binoculars are known for their high contrast with great light transmission. 1) The 10x40mm set of binoculars feature a black finish with rubber coatings, and a pebbled finish on the body. The condition is fair with a bright, but yellowed sight picture. The rubber coating is deteriorating, with most showing a white oxidation, and in some places coming off. Also, some of the pebbled surface texture is peeling off. All of the mechanical components work smoothly. Binoculars include black fabric carrying case, and a leather neck strap. 2) The 7x42mm set of binoculars feature a black finish with rubber coatings, and a pebbled finish on the body. The condition is good with a bright sight picture. The rubber coating is deteriorating, with most showing a white oxidation, and in some places coming off. All of the mechanical components work smoothly. Binoculars include original factory box, manual, rear lens covers, leather carrying case, and a 'Wild Bird Center' fabric neck strap. 3) The 8x30mm set of binoculars feature a black finish with rubber coatings, and what appears to be a painted finish on the body (it may have had the same pebbled surface texture as the previous two binoculars). The condition is fair with a bright sight picture that has slightly yellowed. The rubber coating has deteriorated, with most showing a white oxidation, and in some places coming off. All of the mechanical components work smoothly. Binoculars include fabric Swarovski carrying case.
