WWII German FLAK BINOCULARS D. F. 10×80 + eug o 9598 sheilds cradle dkl table cro
This WWII WW2 German Wide Field 10×80 Flak Binoculars set up are marked + eug o 9589 on the right side of the lense frame on the binoculars. The leather pad is marked D. Rain/sun shades are in place, the mounting cradle is marked dkl, the mounting turn table is marked cro. The filters are in place and I cannot see any visible cracks or chips in the optics. I can look into the the eye glass area and flip the filter knob to see different shades/degrees of light appear and I can view the cross hairs. The other knobs appear to move freely. (Red one on the mounting turn table moves binocular right or left). I also did not attempt to release it from the mounting cradel so be aware of that. I don’t know if this is something put together by a previous collector or the way it was assembled originally looking at the different locations each piece was produced. Number 9589 would appear to be early because I see some with 5 and 6 digit production numbers. I believe this is the original paint. Please note the dent in the right rain/sun shield in last photo. One support leg is broken on it anyway. I will try to answer you but have limited knowledge and experience with this type of object. The item “WWII German FLAK BINOCULARS D.
