German WWI Cased Binoculars (Fernglas 08) by Emil Busch, A-G Rathenow-These are a model 08, also known as the Fernglas 08. These are finished in gray, with bakelite lens cases. The finish on the binoculars is 80% in place, there is moderate paint loss to the side. Please be sure to look closely at the photos. The optics on these need a good cleaning but seem to be just fine. The eye distance adjuster does move easily. These do have a narrow field of view. The glasses are marked and do have a serial number. The heavy duty leather case is in very good condition. The straps and buckles are in very good shape. The case is very nicely marked for Emil Busch under the front buckle strap. The instructions are still in place under the lid, though they are faded, and show discoloration from the binoculars rubbing on it. A very cool set.
