I used these binoculars a few times about a year ago for theater viewing, but I've kept them stored since then. I've disposed of the instructions, so they are not included. There are some minor scratches [see photo 5], but otherwise, they are in good condition and I believe they are a beautiful item. However, as they are a used item stored by an individual, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Immediate purchase is OK! Binoculars
