I recently picked up a very nice pair of marked Fernglas '08 binoculars at my favorite regional flea market. Though in worn condition they obviously saw service and are dated 17 and marked Emil Busch - Rathenow on both belt loops of the case and the adjusting knob on the glasses. Unfortunately, both the closure tabs on the case have been torn off, but otherwise apart from a little rust on the stamped steel top and bottom of the presstoff body it's in sound condition. The optics are good as well, and although not a leather strap, I believe it's original since the lens covers are attached properly.
