I'd say they have used some original parts to rebuilt or recreate a D.F.10x80 flakglass. Most of the body parts are just not original. IMHO:

Yes - it looks like a hobbyist has used various optical parts for a nice project.

I had one that used 10x80 parts in a home made alum body - good for parts or to use on the night sky

Hello

Interesting object.

What is the diameter of the front lens ?

My guess is that it is built of the remains of an Schneider 25x105.

The oculars and the objective-barells looks very much the same as on the early version of this binocular.

Best regards

Jona is right; this WAS a 25x105 Schneider, first type...

Funny item, but either keep it as a curiosity or as spare parts.

Shouldn´t run very high in price, imho.

I think you're right Michael, price should be that of a spare parts donator.
