WW2 German Luftwaffe 10x80 Flak Binoculars D. F. 10x80 Original & Unrestored
WW2 German Luftwaffe 10x80 Flak Binoculars D. This is one side of the binoculars, in rough unrestored original condition. It was brought back by a family friend at the end of his service in WWII. The paint is chipping, lens ring is cracked, and optics need to be cleaned. Reference the photos for details. I only have what appears to be the left side. From my online research: This is a great German World War Two Doppelfernrohr (telescope) 10 x 80 German Luftwaffe Flak issue painted gun sight binoculars, produced by Josef Schneider & Co. These were used for direction sighting on the German Flak 36 (88 mm) Gun. Luftwaffe Flak regiments used these giant 10 x 80 Binoculars during\ WW2. The right side of the binocular body is marked.
Is the abbreviation for Doppelfernrohr (double telescope), with 10 x 80 indicating the magnification power of the optics. The German wartime three letter code dkl stands. For Josef Schneider & Co.
