6x30 binoculars
Hope these are of interest. Swarovski (cag) 6x30 binoculars. These are fairly early ones as the cold weather grease designation is >KF< rather than a blue colour circle or triangle. Also has quite a low serial number of 8390 . The case is in nice condition with no cracks. If any one could help with a manufacturer and date for the case it would be welcome info.
Nice bins. Don't know when "CAG" began production, but definitely
wartime and well used.........
Regards,
Steve.
I think the KF puts them late 1940 to early 1941.
Hello,
Binos carrier was made by Presswerk A.G from Essen.
Nice that the carrier retained its carrying strap with the small leather part...
Thanks

Thanks for the info, any chance you know how to date these, and if this case was likely issued with the Binoculars. Thanks again
Considering the molded markings in the carrier, i would say between 1940 and the entry of the german industry in the economy of war, around late 1942...sorry impossible to be more accurate
Thanks

That date fits the binoculars themselves, as I put them somewhere between Late 41 to early 42. Thanks for your help and info.
