    Description

    Rare pair of WWI Era Carl Zeiss 15x60 Tripod Mount Doppelernrohr Binoculars.
    See pictures for condition.
    No chips or cracks on the lenses or prisms, Overall I would say the view is very good for its age.
    There is some haze and mainly appears on the  front lenses mainly on the right side.
    Focus knobs work correctly but right side is stiff and not as smooth as the left and doesn't seem to rotate as fair as the left.
    Front shades do not fully extend. Right one extends about 1/2"  with the left one is hard to pull but will extend about 1/4"
    The ability to rotate the eye piece housings both inward and outward to adjust the distance between the eye pieces is very smooth and works as it should.
    Slight movement of the left front lens housing where it attaches to the body and held in place by a large 3" round screw.
    Tripod mount rotates freely and locks in place.
    I have tried to provide as much detail as possible to describe the binoculars condition, please ask questions if there was something that wasn't covered or you would like additional information.
    This is US only sale.
