Description
This lot features a Kowa TS-611 angled-body spotting scope designed for terrestrial and avian observation. The instrument features a two-tone aesthetic with an olive green and tan body, complemented by a textured black rubberized objective lens cover and an integrated eyepiece assembly. A green plastic ribbed focusing knob is positioned at the top center for adjustment. The side of the scope’s housing displays a printed red oval logo reading Kowa in stylized lowercase letters, positioned above white printed text that reads TS-611 and SPOTTING SCOPE FULLY MULTICOATED. The underside is fitted with a mounting foot for attachment to standard tripod heads. The scope is accompanied by a custom-fit olive green canvas carrying case featuring black nylon trim, a webbed shoulder strap, and two black plastic buckle closures. The case is detailed with a central oval patch bearing the matching red Kowa logo.
Condition report:
The spotting scope appears to be in good used condition. Minor surface scuffs are visible on the tan section of the main body (photo 2). The rubberized eyepiece and lens cover show light handling marks but remain intact. The carrying case exhibits light wear consistent with field use, including minor pilling and surface dust on the green canvas (photo 5). The plastic buckles and strap appear functional with no visible breaks. Optics were not independently tested for clarity or alignment.
