Advice - TZK (or similar) Big Border Guard Binoculars

[Geneve]

(originally posted this in 'photography', but no replies)

Always fancied a set of BIG tripod binoculars, as a functional room feature (we overlook a lot of landscape).

Seen these, for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polished-Pair-TZK-Russia...

Anyone know if they are any good, or other interesting options?

You're right.

But here's another example:

There is a shop on Jermyn St in London that has these.

I also saw a 'land periscope' once at the antiques market at Woburn Abbey .. seemingly something you would have put behind the Berlin Wall, then wound up to peep 'over the top' at the West !

Any serious advice on big binos welcome.
