A very nice pair of Kriegsmarine Zeiss 7x50 Binoculars with the so-called Gas Mask oculars, complete with the original case and two ocular filters.
The Binoculars themselves are in very good condition. The lenses without damage and giving clear viewing. The rubber eyecups are excellent and movement of the eyepieces up and down to give the correct ocular relief is smooth. The original neck strap is in place as is the leather rain guard and leather button strap.
The Rauhlach exterior coating is very good and with just a small amount of loss.
The shoulder plates have the original painted finish, the right plate stamped 7x50, 2187155 and blc. appropriate to a batch of 1500 produced, possibly for the Kriegsmarine coastal artillery. There is some rubbing to the edges of the plates.
In keeping with the overall condition of the Binoculars themselves, the water resistant case is completely without damage, the Kriegsmarine property mark stamped at the front.
A very useable pair of Binoculars.
