Busche civilian marked but with military dunklegelb over paint and distance reticle. The leather cover looks to be marked C B?G? 43 and I believe it is original to the binoculars.
Hello!
I am writing from Russia, Kursk.
The other day found this binoculars. Directly in the ground.
Marking:
eug KF
Dienstglas
6X30
60885
H/6400
Whether the serial number of the device to know the year of manufacture and prochuu information? May be even possible to know in what military units was suppied?
On the history of the place of discovery of binoculars during the Second World War ..
In 1941 the area surrendered without fighting. From November 1941 to February 1943 under occupation.
With the release of the place also seems to be no fighting there, the main-event unfolded in 10 kilometers.
BUT, in those places were 2 guerrilla group. One of them Germans destroyed and early commander was captured just a kilometer from the place of occurrence Banokles, near the bridge over the river ..
Maybe binoculars lost when one of the successful guerrilla attacks ..
Greetings, I must first say that my English is very poor and I use an online translator, so please forgive the inevitable mistakes.
In my first speech in the forum need advice on these Great War binoculars Goerz manufactured by the case is plywood and leather. The set is complete with all original parts including the cover blinder.
Carrying straps are repro but identical to the original.
Showing here binoculars by Emil Busch of Rathenow. I believe them to be wartime period manufacture.
The lenses are intact but a bit smoky and could use a cleaning. There is a graticule rangefinder. The original leather neck strap is present, albeit broken on one end.
The markings on the top right faceplate are a bit difficult to see - "Dienstglas" is barely discernable, followed by "6x30 / 200252 / cxn +". What does the "+" sign indicate here?
On the bottom central pole is stamped "U 41". Does this perhaps indicate a date of manufacture?
Another number is stamped on the lower, left underside lateral arm "200141". Does this and the above 6-digit stamping indicate serial and/or part numbers?
