Ednar Binoculars Appraisal

Ednar 8x21 Compact Binoculars

This is a pair of compact roof-prism binoculars manufactured by Ednar, featuring an 8x magnification and a 21mm objective lens diameter. The item is constructed with a modern black polymer and metal body, featuring textured rubberized 'pebble' grip panels on the barrels for enhanced handling. Visible specifications printed in white on the central bridge indicate a Field 7-degree angle, translating to a view of 122 meters at a 1000-meter distance. The design includes a dual-hinge folding bridge, allowing for a highly portable and narrow profile when closed. A central focusing wheel is accessible between the barrels, and there appears to be a diopter adjustment ring on the right eyepiece. The eyepieces are fitted with rubber fold-down cups, one of which shows slight dust or usage debris. Attached is a thin black nylon neck cord. The condition appears fair to good; while the exterior housing shows some surface scuffs and minor signs of wear consistent with field use, the lenses appear intact without obvious deep scratching in this view. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-range consumer-grade optical instrument, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century.
