6 X 30 binoculars

Moving on to two complete sets of 6 X 30 binoculars.

The first one has the standard bakelight case with the seldom seen shoulder strap. Binos are marked 'bmj' followed by 'KF' (not sure what that signifies). Serial number is 452388

The next set is the ultra tough bakelite 6 x 30 made by Emil Busch (cxn). This includes the even tougher press stoff case also cxn marked. This set also includes the CORRECT rubber eye guard for this model bino.

M35 dispatch case

A very nice example of an unissued M35 dispatch case that has an R.B. Nr. under the flap. Maxed out with accessories to the extent that I can no longer buckle the strap without putting undo tension on it.

Here are two examples of the gas sheet & bag. The first one is dated 1943 and the other one is dated 1945.

the second gascape is FAKE - it is not original gascape ( some says that those like your second gascape is postwar austrian - I can say one thing IT IS DEFINATELY NOT ORIGINAL GERMAN II WW GASCAPE- Sorry ) !

I would be also suspicious about the folding shovel cover you have shown.
