    Default WW2 Binoculars?

    Chaps,

    I have had these German binoculars come into my possession, as was given the impression they are from WW2. My question is, are they? And if not what are they?

    On one side in a triangle is:



    G.P.
    GOERZ
    BERLIN

    And on the other side

    6x
    HELI-TRIEDER

    They still work perfectly, and are able to focus etc. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

    They are not a WW2 set but cleaned and in good order they are a nice item to have and to use.

    Hello,
    These are german period or even pre-TR civilian binos...
    The absence of the word "Dienstglas" and the central screw for adjusting the sight are good giveaways...
    Thanks

    Center focus civilian type - maybe from the Imperial era between 1903 and 1918?
