You are bidding on a SUPERB and VERY RARE set of WW2 German 7x50 Kriegsmarine Binoculars! Used by Navy Flak Crews and Coastal Artillery, these were brought back by US veteran at the end of the war.

The German Army and Navy used a wide variety of optical equipment, including a 6x30 (6 power magnification with 30mm objective lens), 7x50, 8x30, 10x50 and others, being the standard issued optics used by all branches of service. Though this type was the standard, specialized personnel required stinger optics, and were issues to personnel on a limited basis.

Made of aluminum, brass, and steel by Carl Zeiss Jena, these 7 x 50 power binoculars are in VERY NICE used condition! The lens bodies retain about 85% of their original, finish, and the aluminum end piece fittings are 100% intact! The focus adjustments still function perfectly on both eye pieces. Optics are VERY CLEAR and in PERFECT alignment! The right side is body marked:

Nr. 15377

The left side is marked with a prominent Kriegsmarine Adler, and a "T", indicating that the optics are coated (though I do not see any coatings, which is normal, as they were not meant to last 80 years). Slight marks, dents, and paint loss throughout. The serviceman who brought them home scratched his initials and serial number into the side. Comes complete with a neck strap, but it is most likely a post-war replacement.. A VERY NICE example, it would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!

Please email me if you need additional photos or information.

-------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------

Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period.
