Rare bakelite 6×30 Dienstglas marked CXN 383283 in good used condition. The binoculars are in good condition, the bakelite is in good condition, the hinges are undamaged the inscriptions on the top are present. The oculars are loose as always but firmly attatched. The lower dust rings are present. The hardware is made in a dual tone Blaugrau and tan factory finish. The serial is 383283. The hinges are the model with small aperture. 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.

Extremely rare factory tan painted 8×24 binoculars in good, used condition. These binoculars are a typical pattern only manufactured by the French company HUET in Paris. The largest part of these binoculars were finished in green paint, I have only encountered a few by now finished in tan paint like this one. The binoculars retain up to 85% of the original tan paint. Rare French made tan coloured 8×24 binoculars!

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!
