Item & Condition
A nice set of binoculars, these are “opera” type binoculars, which are estimated to be 1920’s-1930’s.  “Busch” is engraved on the front.  They include the telescoping handle.  No case or other accessories.  See pics to view the very same binoculars & case that you will receive.  Light wear only, no damage to the mother-of-pearl inlays, no missing or replaced inlays.
The eyepiece covers show the following information:
FABR. EMIL BUSCH A-G RATHENOW
TROPP BUDAPEST
It is possible that one of these covers is not period correct, though they match nicely.  There may be other repairs.  For example, the left eyepiece is a cylinder that unscrews, however the other unscrews at the eyepiece cover, while the cylinder twists but does not unscrew.  None of this affects the functions, the focusing is simple, smooth, accurate, and both lenses are identical and reveal sharp focus at the same distances.  You can see the right eyepiece is slighly raised, this may be fixable but we would not dare to attempt this.  The telescoping handle pulls out nicely and is quite clean.  The lenses are clean as well, though occaionally a small black speck will fall onto the lens, most likely dried material from inside the housing.  You can unscrew the binoculars completely in case this occurs.  Otherwise the opera glasses show only light wear and tear, and metal oxidation (no rust).  See pics to view the very same set you will receive, and contact us with any questions.
Truly a rare and gorgeous set that will make you the talk of the town.  Sold with return guarantee.
