Named 7x50 Kriegsmarine gas mask binoculars 'blc' + compass

A nice US veteran bring-back set of the mid to late-war Kriegsmarine issue Zeiss 7x50 'gas ocular' binoculars, along with the matching named compass.The rubber eyepieces are still the original wartime examples, designed to be used in conjunction with a gas mask if needed.The optics, whilst still functional, would require repair/replacement to an internal prism to return them to a full unhindered state of usability if deemed necessary.As shown, they also come with the German wartime Bakelite compass, which is also inscribed with the matching name of the US solider -Lt. Voight- by whom they were captured. Note this piece also features the original name of the German solider to whom it was clearly once issued -Karl Scherr.A set that would make a great addition to any Kriegsmarine or optic collection etc!
