Due to the actual logo being present, these pre-date 1940 when letter codes began to be used. The binoculars are in good shape but there is heavy finish loss. The original neck strap and eyepiece cover is retained, rare to see. The included Bakelite carry case is in fair condition with a carry strap, though we don’t know if it’s original. The case itself is not maker-marked, but one of the belt loop straps has a Waffenamt stamp, \u003cstrong\u003eWaA14\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall a very nice example of the classic eye piece for German infantry officers during WWII!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45370932363333,"sku":"ONJR24YM106","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR24YM106__01.jpg?v=1784298555","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-6x24-dienstglas-binoculars-with-bakelite-case-by-carl-zeiss-jena-militarabteilung","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
