Scarce Pair WW1 Officers Binoculars by Voigtlander & Sohn Germany.

A scare and interesting pair of WW1 Officers field binoculars. They are made by Voigtlander & Sohn of Brunswick Germany, an old company that made optical instruments since 1756. They were of the highest quality and in 1925 sold its interests to the Carl-Zeiss-Foundation. This pair was obviously a private purchase by an officer at the beginning of the first world war. they were retailed by an equally prestigious company of optical equipment, Callaghan & Co London. So a well to do officer going to one of the best shops to by his field gear. They come in very good condition, the makers details of Voigtlander & Sohn on on the top eye pieces and in the tubes are all the retailers details. They come in their original leather case, which has also got Callaghan’s details in the top cover. They work perfectly, the lenses are clear and free from scratches and with all good binoculars, they unscrew for cleaning. An interesting pair bins with an interesting angle.
