BidProwl Summary
C.P. Goerz Berlin 6x Heli-Trieder WWI binoculars with hand-inscribed provenance marking "S.B.W. 7-10-17 CO: G-167th INF. LUNEVILLE FRANCE," measuring 3.75 by 6.25 inches and weighing 517 grams, with working hinge and diopters plus good optics aside from a small dust spot in the left barrel. Military collectors and antique optics dealers buy marked WWI German field glasses for period authenticity and documented soldier provenance that commands premium over unmarked examples. Verify the hand-scratched inscription clarity and authenticity under magnification, confirm both diopter mechanisms turn freely, and inspect the dust spot size and whether it affects sight picture before placing your bid.
