Don’t be surprised when fellow travelers stare. Believe me, it’s envy. This set consists of three cases that fit inside of one another, when not in use, taking up little storage space. The set gives you all the options for short, or longer travel. All three cases are double belted with metal tongue buckles, and double latched, with combination locks at each latch. A large and comfortable leather grip that’s sewn and riveted onto the front, with reinforced corners. All have hold-open straps and taffeta linings with elastic-cinched pockets on the inside lid. So, the next time you hit the road, wear those tweeds, let the bellboy tote your bags, and be the most interesting man on the scene. And unlike the airlines, we’ll throw in the shipping of this fine luggage set.

Except, thanks to you, our business, here, where we are still busier than threelegged dogs. I guess that you really liked those new JerryCans, at the rate they’ve been flying out of here! And they are gorgeous… But what really surprised us was, the amount of Ship’s doors and bunk-beds sold. And I must apologize to A you, who are still waiting for the beds, it’ll take some time to get more, since they’re still in storage in India. From there to England, and then to us. But what I really want to point to in this catalog is the fabulous collection of Zeiss optics. You will find this quality at these prices nowhere else! Ottmar has truly outdone himself with this collection of rare, large, and small binoculars. Truly the c. crème de la crème of what has ever been made by Zeiss. Of course, as in any of our catalogs, you’ll have to riffle through the pages to find all the treasure contained herein. So, we thank you for your continued patronage, and wish you well through the holidays. cheerfully, Justus Bauschinger reach me at: JB@DeutscheOptik.com e. c. a. f. b. h. d. g. a.

Mind you, Ottmar never serves up junk! These glasses are for the most part like brand-assed-new! The former owners paid small fortunes for them, new, and this quality of binoculars aren’t available anymore, not even from Zeiss, we’re sorry to say. Many come in the original fitted leather cases, which alone are worth a bloody fortune. (You don’t have one piece of luggage as finely made as these cases). And if you suppose that some of these prices are high, trust us, if they were made today, they’d triple that price! c.

These Flakfernrohrs have all been sold out since 2006, but I managed to talk a German friend and colleague of mine out of his stash, that are as complete and close to new as you can get.

Schweizer GmbH, to put together a comprehensive, and complete line of magnifiers, of all types, for virtually any application. What is of note here, that Schweizer still grinds all their own glass. Yeah, Schott white glass. The best there is. The reason we like glass, as opposed to acrylic, is that when you work with solvents and get a drop on the acrylic, you’re screwed, because the acrylic lenses are ruined. Of course we also purchase close-out acrylic magnifiers from them, and pass the savings on to you. Our copy always denotes what materials are used. You’ll love this stuff. 2.5X POCKET LOUPE Black leather cover with flip-out 45mm Ø glass biconvex 2.5x magnifier measuring 3” overall.

In the process, like a damned fool I splashed a drop of acetone on the lens. Reacting intuitively, I immediately wiped. Damn, that was the end of a couple hundred bucks! Then the search began. Yeah.., just try and find real quality glass magnifiers, that are aspheric or better aplanatic. That lead me to A. Schweizer GmbH. Been around for 167 years. Use only Schott (Zeiss) white glass; grind all their own. In fact, make all the components in house! Aplanatic lenses have more edge to edge clarity, without distortion by minimizing spherical aberrations and eliminating coma. Schweizer does this Glass with two lenses, not that you could tell, holding ‘em in your hand. Yes, they’re heavy, but that’s good, keeps things steady. Brilliant. The best there is! Each comes with leather lens case.

In the world of optical glass, this is truly a work of art; a tour-de-force! This is a great story: the man responsible for having these lenses ground, at Schweizer, thought these would be a great idea, and had a ton made, without ever calculating costs...! He was summarily discharged, shortly thereafter. Boy did we luck out!

The Faribault Woolen Mill is a living testament to American craftsmanship, their woolens are renowned for their comfort and quality. From providing woolen blankets for pioneers heading west, to comforting our troops through two world wars, and to this day they are still being produced for our military. Importantly, Faribault pioneered woolen blankets with permanent moth-proofing. There are no finer woolen blankets made here. These are made to the same military specification Faribault Mills has been using since at least 1917. Originally designed to accommodate the widely varying temperatures of cadet sleeping quarters, the “double cloth” construction of this blanket results in a warm, heavy, yet breathable product.

His varied use and mixes of woods, leather, horn, silver, and ivory, make his work a true joy to behold. So, having said this, as a matter of explanation, I shall, in the various descriptions, just call out the materials of each cane, and you’ll see from the photos how they match up. SEAT UMBRELLA Jeez, I didn’t think my butt was that big, but to sit on this one is a little tough. More like leaning on it… Great for the hunt, golf, or doping the nags at the track. Beautifully made of cast and polished aluminum with handsewn grips. Even has a screw-on retainer for the tip, so you don’t sink down in soft turf. Green fabric with sturdy metal shaft and broad, rubber foot. 41.5” Ø x 36.5” tall (33” seat) FIB4026 $149 HURRICANE UMBRELLA The biggest and baddest umbrella we’ve ever seen! Stronger even than the Tornado Brulla we used to feature, which unfortunately is no longer made. Has a huge opened canopy diameter of 51.5”, of tough, heavy, navy nylon, to shield several at once. Has massive ribs, and even more massive stretchers! My biggest joy, though, is that this umbrella when collapsed is fully 40.5” tall, with a huge, 5” wide and 4” deep crook, so no matter what, I have a comfortable walking cane length, and the crook fits comfortably over my arm wearing a heavy Loden overcoat. Not for the faint of heart, this brulla weighs 2.13 lbs., but it simply doesn’t get any better than this!

To that end, we were given the opportunity by Mike Rivkin, the owner of the Stanley Meltzoff estate, to offer this image for sale in two forms. a) you may purchase an un-framed giclée print of this image, in the original size for $110 postpaid. (Giclée printing is one-off art printing; gorgeous!) Please use this order number: TSR01 $110 postpaid b) even more spectacularly, you may purchase the Original Painting, framed, for $19,849 A good price for this artist! Call me, for arrangements. STAINLESS STEEL 20 LITER (INOX) NATO JERRY CAN It took us about ten years to work up the cojones to sell this stainless steel jerry can. They just always seemed a bit too pricey… But then we’ve been selling hundreds of stainless buckets from the Swiss Army, for years, without complaint. Let’s face it stainless steel stuff is expensive and hard to work. These stainless jerry cans are all made to precisely the same NATO standards as the others. All stamped, plasma welded, three handle, bayonet filler, and stone gorgeous. Food Quality..! Wine, acids, solvents, and weather resistant, what else could one want? Well, here you go. We finally made it. These are truly objects of great beauty. GP20SS $199 New Jerry Cans: After all of the surplus supplies of NATO jerry cans in Europe dried up in 2009, we went to the maker and had them supply us. Naturally we paid a bunch more for OEM cans, but many thousands later no one is complaining. They are that good! Made in Poland, (which is an EU member), for NATO, among other entities, including the Russian Army, these are as good as it gets. They’ve been producing jerry cans since 2000, with 5, 10 and 20 liter capacities, are rustproof, and painted in the RAL6003 color, olive drab. They’re plasma welded .08mm steel, powder coated on both inside and out with fuel and solvent resistant paint, preventing the deterioration of the contents during long storage. Given the high quality, they’ve been awarded certificates recognized throughout the European Union and beyond, which means that they comply with the toughest durability standards needed by military and civilian customers around the world. These jerry cans are designed for the shipment and temporary storage of liquids and petroleum products. All of our cans are stamped with: “Not for Fuel Use”. 20 LITER JERRY CAN 10 LITER JERRY CAN 5 LITER JERRY CAN The classic, three-handled, plasmawelded, European-made NATO can.

Authored by Stanley Meltzoff and Mike Rivkin, it’s an oversized 10” x 13” format, with 190 illustrations and plates. The deluxe 1st Edition limited to 500 signed and numbered volumes, bound in blue cloth, includes tipped-in bookplate plus an original Meltzoff Fish-Art Catalogue from 1980! Older readers will remember many of his iconic images from the wartime The Stars & Stripes, Life, Saturday Evening Post, Scientific American, many of the most famous pulp fiction novel covers, and then starting in 1960, with a commission from Sports Illustrated to paint a series on striped bass, Meltzoff, an early scuba diver, turned to his ultimate passion: FISH. His paintings of bonefish to billfish dominated the outdoor print media for decades. His fish paintings, beyond realistically stunning, are mostly unaffordable today.

That of course means signing for shipments, writing up the watch list and etc.. Many of the forms in this modern world, that need initialing or signatures, unfortunately, are weird carbon or NCR forms, for which you need a ballpoint pen. On the other hand, there are certainly many occasions where the First Mate might want to show more flourish. To that end, John E. Hand & Co. developed this fabulous double-pen. The business end is a ballpoint, for the mundane. Take the cap off, and a fountain pen reveals itself..! Equipped with a genuine Schmidt iridium nib, for smooth and graceful writing. This unique and beautiful writing instrument is made in Germany of Sterling Silver (.925) with a navy blue lacquer barrel. There’s plenty of room left for engraving (6 x 60mm), if you choose to give this to your Nr. One, who probably really deserves it. Fine enough for yourself, for that matter. Comes complete with spare cartridges, presentation box. JEH45007 $149 NAVAL CHARTS OF THE WORLD SHIP’S MANIFEST FOUNTAIN PEN & PENCIL SET After 125 years of making the world’s finest maritime instruments, John E. Hand & Sons knows a thing or two about sea captains. While they’re a careful and deliberate lot, they’re also not without a sense of personal style. Thus, the new John E. Hand Ship’s Manifest fountain pen and mechanical pencil. Beautiful, heavy and classically styled and made in Germany. Wrought in Sterling Silver (.925) with navy blue lacquer barrels. Their sleek, torpedo shapes fit snugly into blouse pockets, with nothing extraneous to hang ‘em up. The fountain pen has an ultrasmooth, medium, gold with iridium nib, and may be “pumped” or used with a regular ink cartridge. The pencil, a joy to use, just twist the silver clockwise a notch and the lead extends. These are both large and heavy writing instruments, for bold signatures. There’s plenty of room left for engraving (6 x 60mm), if you choose. Few things in life provide similar pleasure as fine writing tools. You owe it to yourself, eh? Comes in an exquisite pianofinish Wooden Jewel box. As a lover of anything nautical, when a stack of old charts, that had been in use by the US Navy, became available, we jumped on the deal. These come from all over the world! Dating as far back as the 1890’s, with many corrections made to update them. It’s a fantastic history of friend owning and correcting charts from the foe and actually using them. For example, Golfo di Pozzuoli, including Rada di Castellammare di Stabia with Torre Annunziata, originally engraved and published in London by the Admiralty 7th October 1890, with new corrected editions from 1902, 1911, 1917 and large corrections 13th Sept. 1940… And these came out of the chartroom of a US Naval vessel. Gorgeous stuff. These charts are all about 40” x 27.5”, and printed on very heavy stock. Many have the corrections made by the quartermaster’s mate on them, in red or blue. The charts are all yellowed with age, and are very beautiful in their own right. Works of art, if you will. Since they depict random and obscure places on the globe, with many of these localities re-named, given the course of history and politics, we’ll just sell them randomly, okay? All in great condition, with no tears or rips. You get three random charts in this deal. 40” x 27.5” each MR103 $89 JEH95001 $329 Made in Sterling Silver .925! GEARHEAD CHART COMPASS Made of solid brass, QUARTERMASTER’S DUO PEN-PENCIL It’s a good idea to be careful when plotting courses, or making the necessary changes to your charts. With that in mind, the John E. Hand & Co. recently developed this unique and fine combination writing and drawing instrument. In one single pen, with the twist of the barrel. You have both a ball-point pen, for permanency, and a (0.5mm lead) mechanical pencil, that let’s you correct your errors before you commit. This gorgeous and useful instrument is made in Germany of Sterling Silver (.925) with a navy lacquer barrel. Plenty of room to have a name engraved, if you so choose. Comes in a deluxe presentation box. JEH42028 $139 44 then matte nickel-plated. Each leg has a gear cut into it, so when you have gear to gear movement while adjusting the width, it is both a smooth motion and holds tight at the same time.

These magnificent timepieces are superb. Certainly as good as any branded Swiss mechanical watch, such as Tag-Heuer, Breitling, Ebel, or Omega, et al. The big difference is that you don’t pay for all the glossy TV and Magazine advertising. Davosa does none of that… In other words, you actually get what you are paying for! Each Davosa timepiece has a full Two-Year factory warranty. LACO Founded in Pforzheim, Germany in 1925, by Frieda Lacher and Ludwig Hummel, Lacher & Co. was one of several watchmakers that were contracted by the Reich to produce the legendary pilot and observation watches for the Luftwaffe. Both watches employed the 22 line Durowe bridge anchor movements, whose fine adjustments were done to chronometer specs. They were an important navigational tool, back then, and we are pleased to offer them in our fine watch selection. All share the same, durable Miyota 821A automatic (self-winding), non-hacking 21 jewel, 6 Hz movements, with uni-directional winding system, with a power reserve of over 40 hrs, and an accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds a day!

Mechanical means either manual-wind or automatic (self-winding). Being mechanical devices, they’ll never have the dead-on accuracy of quartz or atomic clocks/watches. That simply isn’t possible… How active you are, how you place your watch on the nightstand, temperature, and magnetic fields, all argue against perfection! If your Timepiece gains a few seconds/minutes over a noticeable period, try laying it out differently at night when you take it off. Face down; face up; on left edge; on right edge. If you use a watch winder, all bets are off, and you’ll just have to re-set the time manually. As of 1 November 2013, we will not accept any returns of any Timepieces after a customer’s inspection period of five (5) days from the ship date. Hence, a 5 Day Return Policy. Here’s why… We ship all new Timepieces, fully inspected and running properly by our knowledgeable staff. The Timepieces are fully wound-up, and set for the customer’s local time, and sent per 2-Day express/insured service, so you should have plenty of time to either Love or Hate it… So please don’t wear/carry the timepiece for a week, or more, risk banging it against doorframes, or whatever, and then expect us to take it back! If you Hate it, simply return it, unused and unworn, at your cost. (We suggest insuring it for its full value). All new Timepieces sold by us are guaranteed by their makers for 24 months, and therefore all warranty claims are handled by the Makers, or their authorized repair facilities, not us. Each Timepiece has its respective certificate instruction warranty card or booklet with it. There you will find the addresses and telephone numbers of the makers. Remember: taking the Timepiece to an unauthorized repair facility voids all warranties! In order to get the proper power reserve out of a mechanical watch, (typically 38-42 hrs), you must first fully wind the mainspring, gently! You’ll feel it tighten up before it’s fully wound. This is especially true of automatic (self-winding) watches. You must fully wind it before wearing. No matter what, always handle a Timepiece, its crown and pushers and stoppers gently. There’s no need to force anything! $889 To Order Online www.DeutscheOptik.com To Order Call 1-800-225-9407 49 MILITARY SCOUT KNIFE The classic NSN 5110BÖKER PREMIUM TRAPPER Directly from Solingen, Germany, this classic Trapper features carbon steel blades with the old H.

Made with a heavy, 100% cotton twill, inverse pleated front, button secured and flapped back pockets, deep hand pockets, button-fly. They have a 7” inseam, and are double-needle, lap-fell sewn in the crotch. Unbelievably, they date back to the 1950’s. There’s only one problem: we only have them in waist-size 34… Damnit.
