Original German WWII PBWF3-1x70° “Panzer Beobachtungs Winkel Fernrohr” Bunker Optic by Carl Zeiss on Display Mount

Original Item. Only One Available. This is an outstanding example of a scarce bunker optic used during World War II. It is marked as a P.B.W.F.3-1x70°, or “Panzer Beobachtungs Winkel Fernrohr” which translates to Tank Observation Angle Telescope.

The data plate reads:

PBWF3-1x70°
CARL ZEISS
JENA
Nr. 79043

The optic is still clear and the rubber eyepiece is retained. The optic is on a rudimentary display mount and is secured by a large rubber strap secured to the wood with 10 tacks. It is not very well secured but it makes for a good display with the small information sheet attached. It measures roughly 12 ¼ x 3 x 10”.

A great piece of German technology, ready for further research and display!
