Not strictly a binocular. But have an interesting item that a friend in Italy sourced for me. Its Zeiss Z.F. 20E direct fire gunsight from the 8.8cm flak gun of famous memory. He persuaded a guy in his eighties+ to part with it. It's in superb condition, still with the original steel transport case. Good clear optical path, no rust at all and undamaged in any way. Weighs a fair bit though. Not exactly the sort of thing you would carry around, but it looks nice on the shelf. And you never know when there might be an enemy tank come around the corner. Be prepared!

When I've sorted out my 50 then I can post photos. At the moment I'm in Belgium.
