Vintage German D.F. 10x80 Luftwaffe Binoculars On Stand 20th Century
About the Item
Vintage German pair of World War Two D.F. 10x80 Luftwaffe binoculars on stand with manufactured code of DKL made by Joseph Schneider & Co, Kreuznach, Germany, circa 1939 in date.
D.F. stands for Doppelfernrohr, which is German for "double telescope." The polished steel rangefinder flak binoculars were used to locate enemy aircraft and direct accurate anti-aircraft flak fire artillery at them and they were also used on U-boats and fortifications.
Made in polished steel and aluminium, with ribbed adjustable lens housings and a horizontal adjusting knob, the right side stamped ‘D.F.10X80’, with maker's code DKL.

These 10x80 Flak binoculars were indeed mostly used for finding enemy aircraft, determine their location and direct anti-aircraft artillery their way. This was made easy thanks to their 45-degree angle. They can also be used horizontally, which proved useful on the battlefield.
