About this item
A rather scarce pair of WW1 German Officer’s Doppelfernrohrer' Dienstglas '03 Binoculars complete their correct 1913 dated case.
The 6x24 glasses are constructed with an alloy body, with prism plates in brass. The right prism plate is marked B-Dienst, D.F 03 with the serial number below, the left plate with the maker’s name G. Rodenstock, Munich. The body is covered in a black leatherette which remain completely intact. Neck strap appears to be the original piece.
Overall condition is very good. There is a small chip out of one of the synthetic (Bakelite) eyecups but what makes them exceptional is the clarity of the undamaged optics which remain adequate for recreational use.
The Case is no less pleasing. In excellent condition it is constructed in brown leather with rear belt loops and a stitched in shoulder straps for officers. There is a serial number on the lid and Munich makers name and date at the back.
Inside, the glasses are protected by felt padding whilst the lid carries instructions for the use of the glasses.
It would be difficult to upgrade this example.
