About this item
An original pair of German field glasses which belonged to 15927 Brigadier C H Montague O.B.E. who served with the Royal Tank Corps during the interwar period as well as during WW2 when it had become the Royal Tank regiment. He was the officer commanding 33rd Tank Brigade from December 1942 until March 1944 whilst they were operating Churchill tanks. I have not been able to uncover where he went in 1944 but the family believe he was part of the party which liberated Belsen concentration camp which suggests he was stationed in North West Europe following his transfer and the subsequent landings in France during 1944.
These binoculars are German made and date from the Great War period. They are marked with the maker's name of 'C. P. Goerz' of Berlin and also bear the serial number 500207.
Overall the binoculars are in good condition and display well but please take time to study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that they are a vintage pre-owned item which have small flaws commensurate with age.
A nice original pair of field glasses which have Second World War history.
This is a vintage item which is 'sold as seen'
