They seem to have seen significant use, possibly post war.
There is the name Walter Bennett scratched into the binoculars, which we assume is the name of the USGI who captured these and brought them home. Original leather neck strap is unfortunately missing, and these are offered without case. The optics are in excellent condition and clear.
There is wear to the textured coating, mostly on the right side, indicating that the soldier probably held it one-handed. Both diopter adjustments operate smoothly, however the eye cups are missing, probably having been removed or broken off during service.
#CARL ZEISS BINOCULARS 10X50 CODE#
The maker code is for the famous Carl Zeiss, Militärabteilung Jena, who manufactured a multitude of different types of optics for the German Military. These are fully functional with clear optics and made by one of the very best makers at the time (still in business today!). The 10 x 50 Dienstglas was one of the most used German issued binoculars of WWII.
