AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The manufacturer originally named "Van Leer's Optische Industrie" and was founded in the Netherlands in 1939. Later, during the occupation, the name was changed to "De Oude Delft". After the war the company was simply called "Oldelft". This is a pure, rare Dutch binocular.

Although the binocular performs well and provides good visibility, the lenses should still be cleaned. This task is therefore for the next owner.

Left side: super heliorem/ 8 x 35
Right side: Frans H de Wolff/ Delft

The case was manufactured in France, exclusively for foreign export.

A bit of WWII history.

Well packed and shipped with track and trace.
