COURTEOUS COMMENTS & CORRECTIONS AR...E ALWAYS WELCOME! ALL FOREIGN SHIPPING ACCEPT BUT ONLY VIA EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM!This is an offering of aVERY RARE WWII GERMAN ZEISS 'BLC' MARKED WIDE ANGLE 7X50 KRIEGSMARINE U-BOAT BINOCULAR. THIS IS A RARE EARLY VARIANT WHICH FEATURES THE RUBBER SHOCK ABSORBERS ON THE OBJECTIVES, THE INTERNAL DRYING CARTRIDGES - THE PORTS OF WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THE IMAGES OF THE PRISM HOUSINGS AND LARGE WIDE ANGLE EYEPIECES!This particular style glass is pictured in use by German submariners in many books; obviously this style pre-dates the more well known tan 7x50 & 8x60 U-boat glasses. However, Angola's book "The Kriegsmarine" shows this style glass on page 233 and well documents it as a U-Boat binocular. The glass shows honest usage and wear, but there are NO serious chips, scratches, breaks of damage to any of the optical elements. It's mechanically intact and missing only the "rain cover" on the pieces that hung on a rubber cord from the hinge. Not 100% bright & clear, but actually does offer a fairly bright image. On balance I call it "excellent condition" and hope that someone will buy this for the restoration it deserves!BTW, lots of the tan 7x50 U-boat glasses for sale and lots of the 8x60s too if you want to pay the price. But this is the first example I've found of this style in the past 10 years. Offered only as a collectible relic, restoration or cannibalization AS IS WHERE IS.
