German WW2 Dienstglas 8x60 Binoculars with Case

Updated August 27, 2026

Manufactured in Göttingen, Germany, by Spindler & Hoyer, this original World War I military Fernglas 08 binocular set features upper hinge-cap stampings reading "Feldglas 08 / Spindler & Hoyer / Göttingen". The bottom washer is stamped "GERMANY". The accompanying leather case is back-stamped "Emil Busch A.G. / Rathenow" and retains an original printed German instruction label under the top lid reading "Gebrauchsanweisung für das Fernglas 08". The binoculars measure 4.5 inches high by 4.5 inches wide (11.4 cm H x 11.4 cm W) and weigh 458 grams (1 lb 0.2 oz). The hard-leather carry case measures 5.5 inches square (14.0 cm x 14.0 cm). Constructed with a painted metal body and knurled focus rings, the binoculars maintain smooth central hinge tension and smooth individual focus diopters. Optical viewing is clear on the left side, while the right optic remains blurred as its diopter turns without adjusting internal focus. The included Emil Busch hard-leather case retains its original metal side studs, belt loops, and lid label, though its shoulder strap and side closure latch straps are no longer present. All finishes and leather materials remain factory original with age-appropriate paint wear, metal patination, leather scuffing, and finish rubbing.
