Hello
I have in my colelction this pair of binoculars 6X30
Manufacturer OPTICA in MEESKIRCH
The strap is dated 42 and manufacturer code clb.Weight: 390 grams
Found as is.
Is there a chance that these binoculars equiped the Whermacht?
Thanks

The three screws per prism plate and washer retaining screws look like WW2 German Dienstglas style but the lack of markings may indicate immediate post war manufacture - some civilian Leitz and Zeiss still have three screws per prism plate and washer retaining screws in 1945 after the war.

Nice bino - first one I've seen!

Have a look at this report - it mentions Optika Fabrik, Messkirch in relation to tank sights;
