Hinsoldt made quality and robust binoculars. In 1928 Zeiss took a 54% shareholding in the company and by 1968 was the sole owner. The Hensoldt trademark was only used for military contract work. The Zeiss trademark was used on all other products. This is a nice pair of classic German marine binoculars by the famed quality maker Hensoldt Wetzlar and are fully armoured for marine use. The eyepiece cover is retained by a thin cord but is missing its sides. The optics are in excellent condition and the individually adjustable eyepieces adjust easily. The top of the rubber armour has moulded into it HENSOLDT WETXLAR on the left hand prism cover and 7 x 75 on the left prism cover. Under the top rubber covers, the binoculars have the HENSOLDT WETXLAR logo and DIAGON 7 X 50. The front of the prism has the serial number 915511S which dates them to the mid-1950s. The front of the hinge is stamped MADE IN GERMANY. The price of these nice naval binoculars includes U.K. delivery. OPT 795
