Clean optics, with clear line-of-sight and good collimation. Both black Bakelit eyepieces are in good condition with no chips or cracks.

Great original set of WWII German Navy optics from a family Estate of a former naval aviator in Piedmont, CA.He was stationed at Alameda NAS from 1942 thru 1947, before leaving the Navy. Given the tremendous amount of U. S wartime shipbuilding and submarine activity at the Bay area shipyards, these Kriegsmarine binoculars were likely confiscated at some point from a detained vessel off the coast of California, likely interned at Alameda NAS or Mare Island submarine pen nearby.
