RARE WWII GERMAN U-BOAT CONNING TOWER DECK BINOCULARS
stamped ‘U.D.F 7x50 317815 blc’, complete with fixing rod, original rubber eyepieces and retaining much of the original green/grey paint finish (one of the rubber eyepieces is no longer attached correctly as there has been damage to the hinge).
Note: these specially produced optics were produced by the firm Carl Zeiss Jena. They were built to be fixed to the conning tower of German U-Boats, produced in bronze, and built to withstand the pressure of up to 300 meters if the U-Boat had to suddenly dive before they could be removed from their position.
