German binoculars - Busch

[Nick VR]

Hi Guys


I bought this on a flea market in Bruges last summer but then I completely forgotten about them.

How big is the chance that this was used by the Wehrmacht? As I read that these could be privately purchased as well...


Thanks

Hi Nick, I was going to suggest contacting the makers to see if they had details of when the binos were made, going from the serial number: however, I then remembered that the Busch Company was located in what became the DDR, so that theory is no use.

They might have seen wartime use, but it is really anyone's guess....

Cheers, Ade.
