A functional and well-preserved left-side component for a Kriegsmarine Dopperlfernrohr (deck gun biocular), constructed of a grey-painted non-magnetic metal casing, featuring functional ocular and objective lenses showing objects at distance in exceptional detail, with the former retaining a rubber eyepiece and the latter covered by a black bakelite cover on a functional hinge, with the casing topped by a bracket for attachment to its left-side counterpart, a bullseye target, and a threaded black bakelite Trockenpatronen (drying cartridge) to mitigate fogging of the lenses, with a metal plate riveted in position beside the eyepiece bearing marks of “D.F.” (“DOPPELFERNROHR”), “10 X 80” (magnification and lens diameter), “M. SCHR. EINBL 20°” (“MIT SCHRÄGEN EINBLICKEN 20°\/WITH INCLINED EYEPIECES AT 20°”), a Kriegsmarine acceptance mark, a maker’s code of “EUG” for Optische Präzisions-Werke G.m.b.H., Warsaw (a Carl Zeiss affiliate), and a serial number of “216356”, demonstrating some loss of paint throughout, in addition to the absence of its left component, measuring 50 cm in total length, an interesting example of a late-war Kriegsmarine gun sight developed to allow accurate long-distance identification of enemy vessels at sea, in very fine condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50014328914197,"sku":"G63329","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_G63329_2.jpg?v=1783540079","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/germany-kriegsmarine-a-deck-gun-binocular-by-optische-prazisions-werke-gmbh-c-1944-g63329","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
