Original Item: Only One Available. This is a good pair of extremely rare German WWII Kriegsmarine U-boat 7x50 binoculars, made by Carl Zeiss of Jena, a specialist lens maker, and one of the finest makers of the time. They are equipped with rubber fittings around the objective lenses though the rubber is in very worn and dirty condition. Rubber fitted optics made them virtually impervious to moisture, possibly even if immersed in water for a short time, definitely a plus on a U-boat! As they normally have the rubber fittings, the eyepieces do not have bakelite cups, as they are part of the rubber molding. The optics are not clear.
The rear of the right barrel is marked with the following under the rubber cover:
7 x 50
2194108
blc
The use of the three letter code indicates that these were made after 1940. "blc" marked on represents Carl Zeiss, Jena, a legendary maker of optics.
The binoculars do show signs of use and wear, especially present on the paint, and the optics are very foggy and not clear. The original leather neckstrap is still present though it does show wear and cracking. The eye cover is present and is marked 11944 and Benutzer.
A good display example of an incredibly rare set of U-Boat binoculars. Comes ready for further research and display!
