alan mcfall Posted October 21, 2024 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2024 First offered in 1920. Probably quite rare, from my experience. The tripod stand is very interesting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted October 23, 2024 Share #3 Posted October 23, 2024 (edited) Very fine item, with that graduated head sounds a lot of Kriegsmarine... Edited October 23, 2024 by luigi bertolotti 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_braconi Posted October 23, 2024 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2024 It smells something of Novoflex, may be the curves ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted October 23, 2024 Share #5 Posted October 23, 2024 Here is a website from Austria, which shows the "Binovista": https://www.fernglasmuseum.at/museum/leitz_binoviasta_15mal60/leitz_binovista_15mal60.html Unfortunately only in German. They say it was produced after WW I in small quantities and used for "aligning headlights of signal and flashlight systems" (my translation, I don't really know what this means). 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted October 23, 2024 Share #6 Posted October 23, 2024 1 hour ago, UliWer said: used for "aligning headlights of signal and flashlight systems" Makes sense: ships used shrouded signal lights to flash code (Morse?) to other ships and shore posts. Lights had a narrow angle so only those pointed at could decode. Before secure radio technology. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
