Military Binocular

Does anybody know anything about black steiner binoculars?

A long time ago i bought a pair of 8×30 military binocs that were made in west Germany, so its obviously pre 1990 or so. But the weird thing is that they are black, not the olive drab that most military models are? A friend said that they might be the pilots model, but I cant find them anywhere online. Does any body know what they are and what their value is?

There are Steiner binocs that are black they are generally not marketed as military spec optics. However there are a few models from Steiner that are black and classed as “Navigational” so your friend may be on to something. As far as value goes there are Steiner Models comparable to yours pricing from $699-$999 but are green.
I would recommend contacting Steiner directly to see if your binocs are valuable or not.

Military Surplus Binoculars

Military may mean soldiers of a nation to some, the whole armed forces to some more. Military surplus is a term used for stuff which has been auctioned by military for general use by people as it is no longer useful for the military. This stuff often contains publicly useful items as clothing, jackets, and other tools and items including military surplus binoculars.

Binoculars are an important instrument the military uses in their warfare that helps them to plan, track and protect themselves from their enemies. Any qualitative error may lead to an extent of losing the nation to another or even their life.

As per the general understanding the military people survive on varied environmental conditions and their movements are also in rough areas so the instruments that they carry must also survive all these conditions.

They use binoculars very often during their movements. The binoculars that they use must certify all the legal norms and standards for which they pass across different levels of testing. The manufacturing of the military binoculars must pass through all the laws and standards, so, these military surplus binoculars are expected to deliver much more in terms of quality and durability as compared to consumer binoculars.

Military surplus binoculars vary in sizes. They range from small to big. The small ones can be used by hands and the heavier ones require a tripod stand for mounting them. Recently, binoculars have been mounted on caps that do not require hands to hold them. The hand used ones are the commonly used pieces available at a military surplus store. These military surplus binoculars can focus images many times closer and brighter than normal ones available otherwise to the consumer, and when he gets these at a military surplus store, nothing beats the deal, since consumer binoculars of such caliber are either not just there or if available, are too costly.

These military surplus binoculars are made of durable materials that can withstand extreme environmental conditions and handling without breakage. They withstand rain, snow, fog and heat and are resistant to water and temperature. The lens does not break in extreme conditions, nor do the binoculars become unusable in fog or other conditions.

Military surplus binoculars are also made up of infrared components that enable clear view during night. Such features enable the military personnel to have a clear vision during any weather condition and also from any place ranging from forest to the hilltop. Obviously you too would be benefiting from this technology if you are able to lay your hands on such a piece at a military surplus store.

It is not necessary that only military needs to use such high caliber binoculars. Also we individuals can use them if you are for achieving the best results in combination with the above features. Your kid wants to view the stars in a foggy winter night? they can achieve that wit a pair of military surplus binoculars.

Military surplus binoculars though are made for the military, are light in weight and easy to use and operate, so can be bought at a military surplus store without second thought. As they are durable and weather-resistant, they can be given to children without worrying about damage to the binoculars or the lens using reasonable care. They would enjoy viewing distant objects that are not clearly visible with their naked eyes and you would be surprised how you and your kids can get hooked.
