The viewer has been completely polished and the lenses and interior have been completely cleaned. This is a viewer that is 75-80 years old. When purchasing such a viewer, it is important to know whether the lenses are clear and clean. The cleaning can only be done by specialists in this field. Blc was used by carl zeiss from jena. It became customary later in the war not to put the full name on the viewers anymore. They did not want to let the enemy know where and by whom they were made. This is to prevent bombing of factories. Type: blc 12 X 60 reg.nr.260452/271333 made between 1940 and 1945. Very clear, large and razor-sharp image. Magnification of 12 X with a lens diameter of 60mm. With the strength of the binoculars, the magnification is not the only thing that is looked at, but also the quality of the lenses. These carl zeiss lenses are incredibly clear! The viewer stands on a beautiful (later) adjustable tripod, making it an impressive whole. And practically usable.
