Zeiss 'blc' 7x50 U-boat binoculars
A stunning pair of mid to late-war Zeiss 'blc' coded 7x50 U-boat binoculars in full original condition, complete with all of the outer rubber armour and leather neck strap.
Each U-boat would have carried a complement of 10 of these binoculars for use on watch duties whilst surfaced.
Factory finished in the typical KM shade of yellow/green, this particular set retains 98%+ of the original finish - definitely rating them as one of the best surviving examples on the market today. The original rubber armour, remaining in excellent condition throughout, only cements that fact!
The fixed-focus and late-war red coated optics on this pair produce a wonderfully clear and usable image, as is to be expected from Zeiss optical instruments built to this standard.
A pair that are about as good as this model of highly sought-after U-boat binoculars get and the ideal example for any discerning collector!
