Optics & communications equipment

Rare bakelite 6×30 Dienstglas marked CXN 383283 in good used condition. The binoculars are in good condition, the bakelite is in good condition, the hinges are undamaged the inscriptions on the top are present. The oculars are loose as always but firmly attatched. The lower dust rings are present but a later model without adjustment notches. The hardware is made in a tan factory finish. The serial is 415405. The hinges are the model with small aperture. The binoculars are in excellent condition and very hard to find in undamaged condition!

The binoculars are optically OK but this can always be cleaned or improved; I will not touch or clean any of my optics.

Ta. P morse key in good condition.

Extremely rare factory tan painted 8×24 binoculars in good, used condition. These binoculars are a typical pattern only manufactured by the French company HUET in Paris. The largest part of these binoculars were finished in green paint, I have only encountered a few by now finished in tan paint like this one. The binoculars retain up to 85% of the original tan paint. Rare French made tan coloured 8×24 binoculars!

Textbook battery Element D T30 made by Kapsch & Söhne Wien intended for the FF33 field telephone. The battery is in good used condition and is the rarest accessory of the Wehrmacht field phones.

Throat microphone used by armored troops and radio operators. The microphone is in very good and in my opinion unissued condition.

A nice partial (only the left side) 6×30 Dienstglas or binoculars manufactured out of Bakelite. The binoculars are nicely marked cxn which indicates production by Emil Busch A.-G., Rathenow. These Bakelite binoculars  were produced to reduce the usage of metal in the production process and are rare late war production! This Dienstglas most likely broke in the field and has been modified to a monocular. The lower ring and screws are missing but the other parts for this side are all there! Nice and interesting example which can be displayed or used as is or used for its often damaged parts!

Rare FF33 30 pole connecting cable marked Kaschie Vielfachkabel 1942 in used condition.

Nice carrying case for the 7/10X50 binoculars or Dienstglas made out of black coloured Pressstoff. The case is nicely marked Walter Winkler 1942. The case is missing the cushions on the inside but is complete with the virtually always missing carrying strap. Nice example!

Rare original Erdsprechgerät in very good used. The Erdsprechgerät was a device used in the case of a broken field phone connection due to shrapnel for instance. This example is nicely dated 1940 and is manufactured by Siemens. The Erdsprechgerät is complete with the microphone and headset. I have opened the set and it looks to be complete inside. The headset looks fine and complete with the straps and supple cables. Very hard to find Erdsprechgerät with its original and undamaged bakelite case!

Nice original FF33 earpiece part of the headphone or Kopffernhörer 33 which would be used together with the breast microphone. Nicely marked prs 1941. Hard to find spare!

FF33 cable transition box or Übergangsdose in very good condition. The transition box is used to connect the FF cable terminated by an end cable to any cables in a simple, clear and waterproof form. The box is nicely marked Venditor 1941 which indicates production by Venditor, Kunststoff-Verkaufsgesellschaft mbH Troisdorf in 1941. This is the first time that I have encountered this waterproof variant.

Very nice German optic lightning cable diffuser in excellent and probably in working condition.  This sort of switch could be worn on the belt to easily control the settings!

Rare camera that was used in combination with the Flak Kommando Hilfsgerät 35. It was marked and made by Siemens. This camera was attached to the Flak Kommando Hilfsgerät to track data tracked by the crew. It was introduced to evaluate the crews; it made live firing for practice obsolete. The camera has a modified power supply; I am not sure why that is. The camera looks to be in good condition and with some work could be made working again.

Beautiful and aesthetic brown coloured bakelite 6×30 binoculars or Dienstglas case in very good, undamaged condition. The case itself is manufactured out of phenolic resin with shredded textile fibers as a filler material (a certain variant of/on bakelite). The case features Pressstoff belt loops and a Pressstoff pulling tab on the closing tab which are all still intact. Interestingly these brown coloured cases are virtually always found together with the tan coloured binoculars. The case is in very good, undamaged condition and has a aesthetic and vibrant light brown colour which shows the filler material, this would nicely attribute any late war NCO uniform setup!

Pressstoff binocular case dated 1944 for the 7×50 and 10X50 Dienstglas in excellent condition!

Excellent carrying case for the 6×30 binoculars or Dienstglas manufactured out of red brown coloured phenolic resin (Bakelite).

Very nice pre war leather Dienstglas rain cover in good, used condition. The rain cover is a textbook pre war construction with high quality leather. This example is nicely marked Carl Zeiss, Jena 1936. Perfect spare to complete a pre war set!
