Vintage Carl Zeiss Jena Jenoptem 8x30W Multicoated Binoculars

This is a very nice pair of 1960s Vintage Carl Zeiss Jena Jenoptem 8x30W Multicoated Binoculars in a brown leather transit case with thin strap. These binoculars are Porro prisms and were manufactured in ~ 1961 at the Eisfeld factory in East Germany.

They are in pretty good condition, with a few surface scuffs/paint loss commensurate with age and use. The neck strap is slightly worn, and there are scuffs on the surface of the leather transit case. Both lenses are slightly dusty but appear free from fungus.
