Zeiss 'blc' 7x50 U-boat binoculars

An excellent pair of Zeiss 'blc' coded 7x50 U-boat binoculars in great condition, complete with all of the original 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 95%+ of the original textured painted finish - unique to the early production period of the 3rd model of Zeiss U-boat binocular. In this case serial number '40057'. 
 
As per usual with Zeiss binoculars of this quality, the fixed-focus and coated optics on this pair remain truly stunning - producing a crystal clear image that is a joy to behold! 
 
A brilliant optic to be used and/or displayed within any militaria collection!
