a beautiful set of ww2 binoculars in excellent condition made in germany during world war 2. These were designed to be used in conjunction with a 4 meter long range finder for directing heavy flak guns.
at the start of ww2, germany wanted to keep the makers of its military equipment secret and assigned each company with a letter code to which 'blc' was assigned to the carl zeiss of jena company.
the optics themselves are clear and functional. The binoculars retain all the original name plates and details. All mechanical functions such as the thumb screw for fine adjustment of the rain guard / eye shade are in perfect working condition.
this set is fitted with the original adjustable and variable eye shades for use in all daytime and darker light conditions.
the binoculars are mounted to a swiss leica heavy duty tripod which include aluminium cups for the footings which are lined with a felt pad to protect floor surfaces.
