Binoculars with unit markings?
Hello
I picked up these binoculars not long ago and although the are well worn they still work brilliantly, crisp and clear.
I only later noticed some markings inscribed on them.
Guessing they are the unit / regiment? Can anyone please tell me any info or where I can get some.
Would love to know more of the story if I can
Cheers

82R7 would stand for - 2. Kurhessisches Infanterie-Regt. Nr.82 (Göttingen) XI Armee Korps, 7th company. But I've never seen marking applied like that, it maybe done because they couldn't find a flat area to stamp. I
Hey thank you for the info.
I think you're correct, finding room could be the problem.
Attached is a pair with similar placement.
Cheers

Can't make out what is marked on this set. Now I have to go and check the ones I have to see if they are marked.
Sorry, last photo was from opposite side, here is a better photo showing similar placement of markings .

(Photo from Kaisercross FB page) hope it's ok to use as a reference.
This is what I meant, this pair the markings are stamped, the first part look to be done with an electric pencil. I've seen helmets marked by hand, but never any equipment. I'm not saying it is wrong, just never saw it before.
