The binoculars are named to the eye pieces.
~ Dimensions ~
The binoculars have a length of 16cm (6 ¼ inches)and weigh 710g

The binoculars have a split to each eye piece and the leather is peeling a little but are otherwise in good physical condition with wear commensurate with age.
They are in good working order, and the optics are very nice, with a crisp clear view.
