Nice pair of WWII Kriegsmarine 7x50 binoculars complete with their leather case. The binoculars are marked with the 3-letter code "beh" for Ernst Leitz GmbH, Wetzlar, the serial number "450704", and the 7x50 magnification marking on the left side housing cover, under the protective rubber cover. Due to the protective cover on the right side being dry and stiff, the cover was not removed to confirm any Kriegsmarine markings in order to prevent damage. The leather case is properly Kriegsmarine marked on the lid, as well as dated "1944" with the beh code on the front under the rim. CONDITION: Optics remain clear. Focus adjustments function properly. Right lens is missing the protective leather cap. There is slight tarnishing on the barrels which can be cleaned. The leather case exhibits slight warping with a few dents. There is cracking and creasing on the seam. Metal components exhibit oxidation. Scattered scuffs and stains. Overall good. JLD
