MP monocular - can they still be bought ?

[widmeister]

I had one of these monoculars which were always very popular and available in the Netherlands. It was the Russian monocular which came with two different lenses (12x and 20x I think). Since then I have lost it when my bag was stolen and I'd like to know if this excellent monocular is still available. I've looked on the web without much success.

Can anyone tell me if they can still be purchased as I would like to get a replacement ?

If so, I have had two stolen over the years.... They often come up on here with both lenses. However that's the most expensive one I've seen listed.

Good luck!

That is expensive but yes, that's the one. Maybe I should keep an eye on ebay for others appearing.

Wow, I wish I had treated mine better....todays worth is higher than its price when it was new! IF it gets sold at this price....

Haha. Yes, a Scramble pijp.

Glad I still have mine ! Bought way back into the last century in the old Scramble shop...

I am happy that I still have mine, still does the job perfectly
It does not look factory-fresh anymore, which is due to the fact that, in a long distant past, it was used as a multi-tool (e.g. to hammer tent-pegs into the ground)

Was the Scramble pijp not a different one?

[pjotrtje]

Yes, the Scramble pijp was the blue-ish pirate-like thing...

Maybe ask the factory to make a new batch:

Ik heb in het verleden nog zo'n Russische kijker bij een particulier in leiden gekocht .... Adres toen gevonden via het internet. geloof dat ik het 1e exemplaar toendertijd in de oude scramble shop bij de brug had gekocht.

Tip: ga eens kijken op de Beverwijkse bazaar . In de hal waar ze 2e hands spullen verkopen, kan je af en toe nog die oude kijkers kopen.
