Dear Mikedenmark,

A new cxn 8 x 60 number; 426536.


Best regards,

[Mikedenmark]

One 8x60 has been added. Thank you to Le Breton.

Odd thing is, just yesterday, I did a short search to see if any new binoculars had surfaced somewhere. I had no such luck.

Dear Mikedenmark,

I trust this will find you well. Yet another new and interesting 8 x 60 cxn number; 426575. The glass resides in a glass cabinet at the U-Boot Archiv in Cuxhaven and was a gift of the late Walter Kaeding, commander of U 56 and designated commander of U 4713, a type XXIII boat which wasn't finished by war's end.

[Mikedenmark]

Yet another 8x60 has been added. And, once again, Thank you to Le Breton.
( I just checked. 35000+ views on this thread. Guess I better start working as an Internet influencer and get free bino´s from Zeiss for my effort.
I understand that is how influencers work. )
