This one is complete with A long regenrohre (rainguard/sunshield) that is attached to the front of the binocular. There is a working fold-up headrest. The optical performance of this binocular is, as with almost everything made by Zeiss during the war, excellent. Optics and adjustments are intact and clear and in working order.

The extra lens shade inside the case in a couple of the pictures is not included.
