12 x 60 Military Binoculars

These 1940's French made 12 x 60 binoculars (12 power magnification and 60 mm objective lenses) replicate the successful design by Carl Zeiss of Jena used frequently on range finders, typically in groups of three - two for the aimers and one for the firing technician. The oculars are inclined at 60 degrees to the horizontal to assist comfortable viewing. Made under the supervision of German technicians incorporating Zeiss optical standards, this model is regarded highly for design and optical performance.
The binoculars have been stripped of their original paint, the cast aluminium polished to a mirror finish and then mounted on a custom made bracket fitted to a period wooden tripod stand. The optics have been fully refurbished to the highest standards.
