POTD: Clarice, It’s Swiss – The Wild BIG 2 Still Owns the Night

▶
Listen to Article

TFB presented a Wild BIG 2 night-vision goggle from Wild Heerbrugg as its photo of the day, shown with a Glock 45 9 mm pistol that carried an A-TEC suppressor and an infrared lamp from irbulbs. Wild Heerbrugg, founded in 1921 by surveyor Heinrich Wild, issued the BIG 2 to the Swiss Army, border guards, police units, and game wardens. Goggles from around the 1980s still function. The firm was folded into Leica around 1990 and remains in the same Swiss town as Safran Vectronix. The single-lens appearance recalls the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs.
