Rare Kriegsmarine Küstenartillerie 6×30 binoculars marked Carl Zeiss Jena in excellent used condition. This is a very rare set of binoculars specifically made for the Küstenartillerie in 1940. Hard to find example with original finish, strap and rain cover. As far as I can tell this was made in a very small contract of 1500 examples in 1940. Rare!

Rare bakelite 6×30 Dienstglas marked CXN 414908 in good used condition. The binoculars are in good condition, the bakelite is in good condition. Both hinges are functional but the lowe hinge shows a glued repair. This is hardly visible and does not deduct from the functionality of the hinge. The oculars are loose as always but firmly attatched. The lower dust rings are present. The hardware is made in a blue and tan factory finish. The serial is 414908. The hinges are the model with large aperture. The strap, rubber rain cover and button flap are present. The binoculars are in excellent condition and very hard to find in undamaged condition!

The binoculars are optically OK but this can always be cleaned or improved; I will not touch or clean any of my optics.

Pre war 6×30 Dienstglas strap with brass studs in good used conditon. Often missing an useful spare.

Rare late war monocular marked RLN indicating production by Carl Zeiss, Jena.

Nice carrying case for the 7/10X50 binoculars or Dienstglas made out of black coloured Pressstoff. The case is nicely marked Walter Winkler 1942. The case is missing the cushions on the inside but is complete with the virtually always missing carrying strap. Nice example!

Headphones marked Dfh f 45 in excellent condition. Hard to find 1945 dated examples!

Rare bakelite 6×30 Dienstglas marked CXN 385589 in good used condition. The Dienstglas markings have been erased. The hinges are in functional condition. The lower lens covers are present. The top recticles are in good usable condition. The graticule in the right recticle is present but loose inside. Hard to find example!

Scarce complete coastal artillery or Küstenartillerie communications headset. The set is complete with all cables and the hard to find connector which is often cut off. Very hard to find a complete set complete with headset and microphone. The rubber cables are mostly flexible and complete. Very hard to find set in very good and complete condition and impossible to find with the connector!

 

Rare late war periscope marked rln. A late war periscope that was designed by Zeiss to replace the standard ZF14 periscope which was expensive to make. This late war, simplified design was used late in the war on self propelled guns and by infantry. The periscope still retains up to 90% of its original factory tan paint. This is a rare late war periscope that would be very hard to upgrade.

First pattern black bakelite 6×30 Dienstglas case in excellent condition. Textbook example with all functional straps, cushions and pull tab. The straps are manufactured out of grey rubber. Rare example with the circular marking on the lid. Perfect example!

Rare original storage box for the shoulder supports for the rangefinder EM36 as used by Flak troops in very good condition. The storage box features original factory applied two tone camouflage. This example is nicely marked with a late war 3 letter code fwq which is a still unidentified manufacturer. Very nice factory two tone camouflaged example!

Rare ZF41 scope marked dym with Feldgrau case marked jvb. The ZF41 scope is marked dym indicating production by Runge & Kaulfuss, Rathenow which is a very hard maker mark to find. The scope itself needs cleaning because at this moment it is not working. All the lenses are complete and as far as I can judge in undamaged condition. In my opinion there is some internal part loose that is blocking the view at the moment. Regardless a perfect example for a mannequin. The case retains most if not all of its original factory paint and is much harder to find then the tan examples!

Very nice 6X30 Dienstglas with all of its accessories in good condition. The binoculars retain their original leather strap, bakelite rain cover and the leather button retaining flap. The binoculars are nicely marked beh which indicates production by Ernst Leitz GmbH, Wetzlar. Nice (over)complete example!

Dienstglas issue knopflasche dated 1939 in very good condition. Hard to find clearly dated pre war examples.

Rare 6×30 Dienstglas marked RLN indicating production by Carl Zeiss, Jena. They are in good usable condition but as with all optics could improve with a professional service. The recticle is present and the eyepieces are adjustable. These binoculars are mid to late war production and rare to find maker marking!
