Rare Kriegsmarine issue 7×50 armoured binoculars or Dienstglas in overall excellent condition. The binoculars are nicely marked blc which indicates production by Carl Zeiss, Jena. The binoculars retains all of its rubber (armoured) parts. A small portion of the thick rubber parts are cracked because of the drought of the material but are original to the piece. The binoculars are finished in the typical yellow/green Kriegsmarine paint and this remains for up to 90%. The sight is still very good and the lenses are clean and clear of visible damages. Nice and rare to find binoculars which were also used with U-boot crews!

A nice partial (only the left side) 6×30 Dienstglas or binoculars manufactured out of Bakelite. The binoculars are nicely marked cxn which indicates production by Emil Busch A.-G., Rathenow. These Bakelite binoculars  were produced to reduce the usage of metal in the production process and are rare late war production! This Dienstglas most likely broke in the field and has been modified to a monocular. The lower ring and screws are missing but the other parts for this side are all there! Nice and interesting example which can be displayed or used as is or used for its often damaged parts!
