Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The 10 x 50 Dienstglas was one of the most used German issued binoculars of WWII. These are fully functional with clear optics and made by one of the very best makers at the time (still in business today!). They are nicely marked as follows:

The maker code is for the famous Carl Zeiss, Militärabteilung Jena and comes complete with original black leather carry strap. Both diopter adjustments operate smoothly and there are no chips or dings on the eye cups. This set was painted at one point with a tan desert-style paint, but as it was painted over already-present wear, we are unsure if the camouflage paint was added during the period or after, in the Cold War era. The optics are in excellent condition and clear. Original leather neck strap is included, and is in great shape, still soft with most of the finish remaining.
Also included is the excellent black leather carry case with working spring loaded closure strap. The case is in excellent condition, but is missing the leather carry strap. The case is dated, maker marked, and Waffenamt proofed on the lip of the lower portion: kso 1944 WaA, though we are not certain on the inspector number.
This is overall an excellent example of the classic eye piece for German infantry officers during WW2 with a possible camouflage paint! Comes ready for further research and display.
