Zeiss 'blc' 7x50 U-boat binoculars

Another from our own personal collection - a stunning pair of mid to late-war Zeiss 'blc' coded 7x50 U-boat binoculars in excellent 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 nigh on all 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 compounds that fact! 
 
The fixed-focus and late-war red coated optics on this pair produce a wonderfully clear and usable image, with superb lens coatings throughout. 
 
A pair that are truly about as good as this model of highly sought-after U-boat binoculars get, and the ideal example for any discerning collector!
