Antique 1931 Carl Zeiss Delturis Binoculars

Antique 1931 Carl Zeiss Jena Delturis 8×24 Binoculars

These antique binoculars were manufactured in the renowned optical hub of Jena, Germany, by Carl Zeiss — a company globally celebrated for its high-quality lenses and pioneering optical systems.

Crafted with precision and durability in mind, these binoculars reflect a level of craftsmanship that is rarely seen in modern optics. Built to last a lifetime, they remain a testament to early 20th-century engineering excellence.

This particular pair bears the serial number 1260882, identifying them as having been produced in 1931. The model is marked “Delturis 8×24”, a well-known line appreciated for its compact design and excellent optical performance in its day.

These binoculars would make a thoughtful and unique gift for any enthusiast of vintage optics, history buffs, or collectors of military or scientific antiques.

Despite their age, the binoculars are still in functional condition, though they do show visible signs of wear and use. The leather coverings exhibit some scuffing and wear, and the brass details have developed a rich patina — adding authentic character and vintage appeal. The optics still offer a clear image, although not comparable to modern standards.
