Re: Carl Ziess Dienstglas (Tan) 6 X 30
Hi Chris, thanks, been perplexed on this one. The color just didn't seem right for ships. I had a suspicion they were for artillery because on the right eyepiece, there are vertical and horizonal grids at 8 degree intervals. Including negative degrees that would seem to aide in hitting positions below you, which hopefully couldn't happen in the ocean.
Take care,
Jay

Re: Carl Ziess Dienstglas (Tan) 6 X 30
I found a website with several examples of Kreigsmarine glasses and you were spot on Chris, they are painted the same color. Just seems to be a weird color for open water. Does anyone know if the Nr. 1337 has something to do with it's operational range?
Thanks,
Jay

Re: Carl Ziess Dienstglas (Tan) 6 X 30
Hello,
They're indeed Kriegsmarine.
Not all Kriegsmarine units served on battleships or submarines...
there were ground units also, like Küstenartillerie.
Was the 6x30 type widely used on board ?
I really don't know but IMO more powerful binoculars were needed at sea.
Concerning the tan color....don't forget that a lot of equipments released circa 1943 were factory tan painted....and if not, they were field tan repainted.
Thanks

Re: Carl Ziess Dienstglas (Tan) 6 X 30
They very well could have been repainted and used by a coastal battery. I knew nothing about binoculars so this has been a learning experience. They do seem to be very weak for use at sea. Thank you for the information!
Take care,
Jay
