They have scalloped eyepieces (one repaired) but are otherwise identical to, and contemporaneous with, the 6E-338 type.
There is normal age related wear, but no untoward damage.
Optics are good for use, very minor degradation but nothing which would need attention.
Brass body is all good and they are fully functional.
No case, but there is a nice original canvas strap.
