Versandnformation
An original DDR military periscope camera system PK38241 in near-mint condition, produced for the NVA (National People’s Army) during the Cold War in cooperation between Soviet manufacturers and the East German optical industry associated with Zeiss Jena. The periscope, approximately 72 cm in length, was designed for concealed observation and photographic reconnaissance from protected positions.
The outfit includes the original tripod and a specially modified Zorki camera no. 3330, fitted with a dedicated bayonet mount allowing the camera to be coupled directly to the periscope optics for photographic documentation. Zorki cameras, produced at the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Works in the USSR, were widely used as the basis for various technical and military photographic adaptations.
The set is preserved in excellent condition and comes with its control certificate and the large original wooden transport case. A rare and unusual Cold War reconnaissance device combining Soviet photographic technology with East German optical expertise.
