Hi

IMO it looks like a after war production.

Hi comczak,
imho you have a Hensoldt WW2 production Romanian contract 8x30 . The binocs possibly were made about the 1940-1943 period at the same time as Hensoldt was providing binoculars of the same specification to the German army. I attach a pic of a similar specification Zeiss made 8x30 made in March 1942 also for the Romanians. BTW does your Hensoldt have a reticle?

[Stew]

comczak,
the code in your Hensoldt on the left side top prism cover is attributed to a Romanian contract made during WW2 . The Romanians were allies of Germany from November 1940- August 1944

hello Stew,
then you wery much, and yes it have reticle, but i dont know how to made a picture of it.

Hi KOMCZAK,
to photograph the reticle you focus the eye piece to get a clear image of the reticle pattern and place the camera lens as close as possible to the eyepiece. The picture is better if you can remove the eyecup from the eye piece of the binoculars.
BTW my 8x30 Romanian contract Zeiss has a reticle picture as attached. Is it like this or the standard german Dienstglas pattern?
