Post war and not military sorry to say

I agree. Not military. But probably some good quality binoculars for everyday use though

Center focus is not military. Some civilian type binoculars were used by the Wehrmacht but that would be more the exception and not the rule. Military issue binoculars have individual focus adjustment for both left and right. They usually have cross hairs too for distance measurement. These do look to be post-war. NH

There would generally be a 3-letter Factory Code instead of the actual producer's name/location as well...

Interesting. A center focus set of Dienstglas. It would be great to know more about these. NH
