Hi. I appreciate that this is my first post on this forum but I am desperate for help and I know there are vintage binocular experts on here.
I have acquired this pair of very old 'late 1800s' I think, and would like some information.">
Part of the serial number sequence of lenses made by Voigtländer[1]
Here we have a very nice pair of vintage binoculars, they probably date from the first war, the case has a bit of damage to the fastener, it has the letters ACS S, on the top, the binoculars are in very nice condition, the leather is all complete and no scuffs etc, the metal is good as are the bakelite eyepieces, they are marked 1/2 + 0 - 1/2, on one eyepiece, the view is good no double vision. AVG Anti Virus 7.0 300. Pair of World War I German military binoculars by Voigtlander, with a green cast metal body, the original leather case with printed paper label on the inner cover, impressed mark 'Voigtlander Braunschweig, Mod.08, No.15205, Dienstglas U.F.' , case 5.5'h x 6.5'w x 3'd.
