Small field glasses were highly preferred by officers due to their convenience. This example is fully functional, with clear optics and a very nice correct leather carry case. It is marked as follows: (Swiss Cross) Armee-Modell (Swiss Cross) 1941 6X24. The left base is also marked with maker Kern (maker) of ARRAU, a town in Northern Switzerland. The front of the binoculars have additional Swiss Cross Proofs, as well as serial No 27208. The binoculars have the correct range reticule in the left eyepiece. The lanyard bars have original leather neck strap and it has a uniform attachment tab with eyelet for buttoning to uniform. The included tan leather case is in great shape, with a functional spring loaded closure strap and shoulder strap. The bottom is well marked with a Swiss Proof Mark, as well as an indistinct maker mark and number 16. The front of the case has period hand inscribed wording ‘Kpt’ (Nazi German Kriegsmarine Kapitän rank), what looks like ’Halfri’ (possible officer’s name) ‘11/252’ (possible Kriegsmarine ship or parts designation) indicating that at some point in the war these binoculars were in carried by a Kriegsmarine Officer. The price for this nicely marked pair of WW2 dated binoculars & case worthy of further research regarding the Officer’s name and designation includes UK delivery. OPT 801
