Description

Rare German Carl Zeiss Jena Telonar 12x40 Military Type Binocular from 1921.

This rare German Carl Zeiss Jena Telonarr 12x40 military type binocular, dating from the between the wars, is in in very good condition considering its age. They are marked 'Carl Zeiss Jena' on the left hand eyepiece plate and 'Telonar 12x40' on the right-hand plate.  They have the serial number '1172585', which dates them to 1921.  The brass and aluminium  body work is in very good shape, with a tiny amount of rubbed paint and abrasion on the raised areas consummate with use.  The black leather covering is complete and also in very good condition. Overall I would describe them as very well looked after. 

The optics are in very good, un-damaged condition. The lenses and prisms are free from any scratches or damage.  When viewing through in reverse, there is no fungus or haze present.  They are still in perfect collimation and form an excellent image, which is crisp, bright and free from false colour.  Both of the eyepieces and objective lenses are very good, with no surface marks visible.  The eyepieces are focused individually, as is the norm with most military type binoculars.  The Bakelite eye-cups are in good shape, without chips, cracks or scratches. They come complete with an original leather neck strap and brass fixings and a brown leather (non original) case as shown.

Serial# 1172585.
