German binoculars

Hello

Does anyone recognize these binoculars? They have a swastika on them so I would think they are German.

M stands for Kriegsmarine, AFAIK

....Yes, but the M is very light...too light. Other markings?

I do not believe this to be genuine military optics. The finder scope on an optical instrument of such short length would be next to useless. The mounting bracket is not very good either. The markings look somewhat dubious too.

I think you are right Harry. I just opened up the front optics part and it has a plastic insert in the eye piece. I guess plastics were not used in WW2.... The "eagle" on top of the swastika looks more like a pigeon than an eagle. Took a better pic from the other side of the mount. Thank you for your help.
