Leitz 7x50 Kriegsmarine Artl. binoculars 'beh'
An extremely rare, as found set of Leitz Wetzlar manufactured 7x50 Kriegsmarine binoculars, produced under the 'beh' maker code.
These are a set which are one of only a handful of binoculars that we have both personally collected / observed over many years that have at some stage been wartime factory-refurbished, almost certainly by Zeiss, for reissue to KM Artillerie forces.
This encapsulates the addition of the early Zeiss-style eagle and 'Artl.' designation inscribed to the prism plate, as shown.
The optics on this pair will require a full service internally to restore functionality - however, given the cosmetic condition and coming complete with their original tall variant 'beh 1942' case, they make for a wonderful set to form part of any display within a Kriegsmarine and/or optical related collection!
