I figure theres probably a few people out there collecting WWII
stuff like medals, etc. so maybe somebody knows what these field glasses
are worth.  My father dug them up during WWII while he was sweeping for
mines in Germany.  They are German made, and in pretty good condition.
The only things wrong with them are the paint is coming off (but no
rust!) and one of the eyecups has a small section broken off.  I also
have the original leather case for them.

The markings on the thumbweel state:  Fernglas 08
                                      122848         (serial number)

The markings on the leather case:     GGF
