Here we have an example of a highly unusual and collectable item – a decorative Second World War German made Emil Busch observation binoculars that would have been used for spotting aircraft and directing searchlights and AA guns.<\/p>\n

These binoculars bear the German military code “CXN”, standing for Emil Busch AG, Optische Industrie, Rathencow, who were the manufacturers of these vintage binoculars.<\/p>\n

Binoculars like these were used by German anti-aircraft batteries to spot aircraft during World War II. These are 10×80 Flak Binoculars and have a very wide field of view, the lenses being inclined at 45 degrees for easy viewing.<\/p>\n

This pair of binoculars can be used for both day & night time observation and the optics are of fine quality with all of the\u00a0dials being in working order. The item has been fully and expertly restored and is in perfect working order.<\/p>\n
