Nice Zeiss Kriegsmarine optics! Abit unusual to see a Brown case-usually they are black. Nice to see the original shoulder strap as well-these usually break early. Are the optics clear and dust/fungus free? William

Hello William
thank you
I doubt about the stamp (M behind eagle and not bottom) and the serial number
in Zeiss database I find the year of 1910 ???
do you have an explanation
thank you
cordially

1910 manufacture? Again, interesting! What are the markings on the left hand of the binoculars? Are they marks "Dienstglas"? William

Didier, The Blc 3 letter code marking denotes a WWII useage. Starting in the 1930's when they were secretly rearming, the Germans used a number code and then switched to the 3 letter codes in 1941. As for the serial number dating -my source gives "60633" as being made in year 1943. You've got a nice pair of Zeiss wartime 10x50's. I have no problems with the tan case or it's Kreigsmarine markings -I would imagine that it is original to the glasses. Not worth enough to buy a new car with, but certainly in the 100-200 dollars range. William
