Hi,

I got a call from one of my ads stating this fellow had a big set of German binos that his dad got out of a tank in 44.

I did some digging on the forum and I think they are a fire control director range finder.

blc 12x60

What is pretty cool is looking through them you see a faint black grid with what Im assuming are range numbers??

Is my guess about right that these go for 600-800??

we are still in negociations at the moment so if any has a good idea PM or email me.

thanks Chris

Hi there.

I am no optic collector, but what you have there are spotting binocular for the 4 meter rangefinder model R40 made by blc.

Hope this helps.
Best Regards
