Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:179105 |
You are bidding on an EXCELLENT set of WW2 German 10x50 Binoculars! These were brought back by US veteran at the end of the war. The German Army used a wide variety of optical equipment, including a 6x30 (6 power magnification with 30mm objective lens, being the standard issued optics used by all branches of service). Though this type was the standard, specialized personnel required stronger optics (such as this 10x50), and were... issues to personnel on a limited basis. Made by blc (Carl Zeiss) of a large tooled alloy and aluminum/brass construction, these 10 x 50 power binoculars are in EXCELLENT used condition! The lens bodies retain about 85% of their original, rough textured, black finish. The aluminum end piece fittings retain about 95% of their original finish, and the eye sockets are intact. Some slight chips and wear, but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance. The focus adjustments still function perfectly on both eye pieces and the optics are still very clear with almost NO spotting. Right side reticle features a 0-30 gradient scale, and the body is well marked with the impressed designation, "Dienstglas 10 x 50", (Service Glasses), the serial number, "1550150", the manufacturer’s Carl Zeiss Jena) and a "+" lubricant code, (indicating lubricant type 1442), which meant the optics were still effective in temperatures as cold as -40 degrees Celsius. A PERFECT addition to any collection or display!!!
