    8x20 limited edition

    Thanks for the info , sadly the owners before me did not keep any of the packaging . Odd Does yours have a B in the serial number ? As I have seen the same binoculars for sale in England with an A in the serial number. One of the eye cups has grit deep down inside so they will go back to...

    Thank you jurek , Almost all famines in 3rd world countries do not come from lack of food , it comes from the hungry not being able to afford the food that is in the markets. And that can happen for a multitude of reasons .
