Jaime, I think the paint is original for this late war salty set.

The closest matching serial number that I have on file is painted similarly.

For some reason this make of binocular seem to be very prone to corrosion - especially around the bridge. They are seldom encountered without any corrosion to the alloy.

This style of binocular is more commonly encountered in 7 x 56 format.

This style of stucco-style tan-colour paint seems to unique to Hensoldt.

The bmj maker code indicates war-time manufacture by Hensoldt.

Thank you all for your replies I have been looking for this type for my optic collection for some time

i have some problems with the paint.
I think it could be that the paint is not original.
but the question is:
Was the "dak-paint" (Einheitsfarbe Europa) brought on befor 1945 or after the war?

[juoneen]

Paint is original pre 45.
