Marked on center shaft end cap: Made in Occupied Japan so these are from the late 1940s or early 1950s. I've had this for many years and had planned on sending to Cory Sudarth for repair but never did so here is your chance to do it! The objectives, eyepieces and coatings are fine. The prisms are fogged and one prism is loose but I see no chips in them. The focusers are frozen and even though this is an easy fix it is best left to Cory. The center hinge moves and is firm. Check pictures for cosmetic condition. Weighs 20.0 ounces. The relatively large exit pupil coupled with the low 6x power should make for an easy to hold wide field astro binocular. I have several of these early Fuji Meibos in other sizes and they are all superb performers. Shipping is $15.00 in the U.S.A. Payment by Paypal friends/family preferred.
