I am reluctantly selling two 1950's German army storage boxes.


They are the original transport cases for a military periscope - a Carl Zeiss Richtungsweiser-Doppelfernrohr 10x50 (I don't have the periscope but the boxes contain all of the original wooden casings).


According to Google... "this model of periscope was often fitted to Panzer tanks. The periscope also proved useful during the Cold War along the Berlin Wall. Also commonly used in trench warfare".


The boxes are identical the one in this auction link - although mine have the original markings (the one in the link looks as if it has been re-painted) [www.the-saleroom.com]


They have an intriguing history and are also pretty rare. They are very heavy (75cm x 45cm) but ideal as a sturdy storage solution. (They could even be used as an interesting coffee table in the right setting).


Please let me know if you are interested and I will post some more photos.


?45 each (but would accept ?75 for the pair)


many thanks
