Featuring distinctive 36mm objective lenses, this Emil Busch AG "Hellux" 6x36 binocular set is marked with serial number 163344 and the signature Busch sunburst logo. Developed in Rathenow, these binoculars provide a wide field of view, making them technically advanced for their period. The set is housed in a robust black combat-grade leather case equipped with a spring-loaded closure, reflecting its intended field use. Both optical tubes show clear, defect-free glass, and mechanical controls function with precision. The body covering is intact, with a single age-crack visible on the right tube. The heavy leather case displays field wear, surface crazing, and solid structural integrity with operable hardware. Binoculars measure 12.7 cm H x16.5 cm W (5.0" H x 6.5" W) and weigh 1,003 g, while the case measures approximately 15.2 cm H x 19.0 cm W (6.0" H x 7.5" W). This item tracks a distinct development path in German optical engineering. PM/OT
