WW2 German Kriegsmarine – 7×50 LEITZ U-BOAT U-BOOT COMMANDER BINOCULARS – NICE!

You are bidding on an EXCELLENT set of WW2 German Kriegsmarine 7×50 U-Boat Commander Binoculars!The German Army and Navy used a wide variety of optical equipment, including a 6×30 (6 power magnification with 30mm objective lens), 7×50, 8×30, 10×50 and others, being the standard issued optics used by all branches of service.Though this type was the standard, specialized personnel required stinger optics, and were issues to personnel on a limited basis.This specific binocular was used by U-Boat crews, ships, and coastal artillery.Made bybeh(Leitz) of a large tooled alloy and aluminum construction, these 7×50 power binoculars are in VERY NICE used condition! The lens bodies retain all of their original, rough textured covering, with approx. 95% original paint and finish! The aluminum end piece fittings are 100% intact, with some slight scratches and marks, due to the age. The focus adjustment functions on both eye pieces, and there are NO marks, spotting, or dust particles…however…the view is a bit foggy, and the optical alignment is a bit off (collimation). As such, they could use a bit of a cleaning. That could be rectified by the winning bidder, if they wished. Left side is marked, '7×50 beh', along with the serial number. Neck strap is original to this set, and is 100% intact! I have shown this EXACT type in use in the last images. One of the NICEST I have seen in a while it would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
