Just because World War II ended some 67 long time ago , does n’t mean you should n’t keep one eye on the sky for breeze maraud with a pair of authenticGerman flak field glasses . you could just never be too sure .
They were originally used atop tall concrete pillar in cities like Berlin , Vienna , and Hamburg to make out incoming confederative zep and to aid direct anti - aircraft fire . A set of 80 mm lenses provided a across-the-board athletic field of thought , while the viewfinders were weight at 45 degrees using prisms which made it leisurely to watch out the sky .
This pair has been refurbish , which is why it looks so shiny and unexampled . But it check service at some point during the war , so it ’s not surprising that it comes with a$15,000price tag end . Including , I might point out , a adorable set of tripod legs so you do n’t have to advert 14 hammering of aluminum and ice around your neck . [ Hammacher Schlemmer ]
