About the Item

Polished observation binoculars measure: 10 x 80 Schneider, Kreuznach, 1941-1944 WW2 Binoculars by the Germans made in 1941-1944. D.F. (Doppel Fernrohe) 10 x 80 observation binoculars . Optical quality is excellent: perfectly clear presentation, sharp contrast, crystal clear image. Stylishly built-up with a half gimballed brace system of polished aluminum on a matching mahogany Stand. Height adjustable. The inside of the binoculars has been cleaned professionally, the outside smoothly polished. The binoculars also feature four types of internal filters, or sun shades. There is clear, light gray, medium dark, and very dark gray. The light gray filters allow for better contrast in poor lighting conditions, and the very dark gray filter allows for objects to be viewed in bright sunlight. This filter was important to have due to the military tactic of planes flying in the sun so they couldn’t be seen from land. These binoculars were ruggedly constructed and essentially bulletproof, designed to withstand the perilous conditions of the battlefield. They aided in the following wartime tasks: daylight observation of enemy troop movements; directing fire from artillery toward advancing enemy troops and armor; directing fire at unfriendly aircraft; and night observation. The 45 degree angle is one of the most comfortable angles to help an observer sustain for extended watches. Schneider-Kreuznach optics still exists today Specifications: Registration nr dkl X 44896 Enlargement factor x 10 Diameter front lenses 80 millimeters Eyepiece viewing angle 45 º Image angle 70 º Sight field 7 º Type of prism: Schmidt roof prism Four built-in filters Body of polished aluminium and steel Individually adjustable for each eye Adjusting siphon for distance between the eyes Weight including stand 15 kg Length binoculars 40 cm.
