As vintage Soviet cameras are becoming harder to collect, I started a new hobby, military scopes. Like precision cameras, these are also fascinating to look at. Here is a well made soviet scope together with its Chinese counterpart, the green one on the left. Do you also collect Soviet military precision gears?

These are very nice scopes. I also have a few pairs of Russian binoculars. I think they are on par with Zeiss or other brand name ones. One of them was made in 1938, and another B6 was made in 1944.
Nice scopes. I don't collect them, but I do have several pairs of Soviet military binoculars, including an early pair made by VOOMP in 1934. Here are photos ... the other pair have a factory logo that I am not familiar with. Both pairs have their cases too, which I didn't show.
