CAG was the three-letter code for Swarovski - they still make binoculars today. CAG-made binoculars weren't distributed to anyone in particular, but they were one of only two makers who produced the desert tan models commonly assumed to have been issued to Afrikakorps troops. The other was Voightlander (code "ddx"). I hope this is helpful.
My father brought some home from WW 2 and there's a Nazi sign stamped into them.
Binoculars have become a very useful tool in today's modern world. However, binoculars have been in use since the 1600s, following the invention of the telescope. The first person credited with developing the first binoculars was Anton Maria Schyrleus of Rheita, born in Austria. Anton invented the Kepler's telescope, the predecessor of what we know to be binoculars. Anton quoted, "Things appear more alive with the binocular telescope." Although he was Austrian, Anton completed most of his work in Germany. This includes the first published claim of the invention in the year 1645, when he was living in Cologne, Germany. Therefore, binoculars were first made in Germany, but it was an Austrian who made them.
The price of night vision binoculars can vary greatly depending on the brand, quality, and features. On average, a decent pair of night vision binoculars can range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 or more. Higher-end models with advanced technology and better image quality tend to be more expensive.
Value can depend on a number of things. The most rare and valuble binoculars are German ones produced at Jena and bearing the eagle and swatstikka, these are rare because after heavy allied bombing at Jena the name and swatstikka were replaced with the code b.e.h. With original case and straps these binoculars are extremely valuble and rare. If it can be proved they belonged to certain ships or individuals the value goes up again. There was recently a set went up for auction on e-bay proven to be off the ill fated Prinz Eugen and the reserve was $250,000, no kidding! Most of the Allied binoculars are worth between about $100 to $400 and are much more common and widely available. Value can depend on a number of things.
