U-Boat Binoculars
I believe these are the third Model/Type.
This Binocular has a distinctive dark red anti-reflective Lens surface coating, inside and out.
Normal 7x50 blc Binoculars had a dark blue or purple coating.
The dark red type are found on late war Binoculars, made after the serial numbers 61200 (?).
Any ideas as to why these had the red coating applied??
The optics on these binoculars are in absolutely pristine condition.
At one time I had six pair of these binoculars
The red was for low light conditions, if I remember right. Nice binoculars!

Quite heavy too
Very nice, i wouldn't mind a pair myself!...
Nice to see them with the rubber armor intact!

Very Nice - That is one variation that I do not have in my binocular collection.

I've got a very rare prototype of the 7x50 blc Binoculars..
