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.
Condition:
In excellent original condition with the original lenses, please see photos for confirmation.

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.
