Most of the instruments were overhauled by Optrep. This shows about a quarter of the whole collection which is displayed in national sections. The above picture illustrates part of an outstanding private collection (somewhere in England) of binoculars and other optical instruments, mainly from WW2. Most German instruments of WW2 are identified by a 'secret' code. We also clean and refit graticules, unless they have been ruined by surface pitting. Optrep carry out this procedure which is superior to the old procedure of purging with dry air or the fitting of silica gel containers. Military binoculars are always of sealed construction and are therefore suitable for nitrogen purging to prevent fogging. Up to a third of the military binoculars we receive have been tampered with by someone with insufficient experience, often causing much damage but in almost every case Optrep can put such binoculars back into service. They can be very collectable and a pleasure to use, a case of 'beating swords into ploughshares'. Many WW2 binoculars, once restored, are of the highest quality and often unique. If parts need replacing, this can be a problem but, very often, parts such as eyecups can be made and optics can be restored (recementing etc) or even replaced.

Especially WW2 types from size 7x50 up to the very largest.
