Original pre-war German Army 10×50 Dienstglas binoculars manufactured by E. Leitz Wetzlar. Marked “Dienstglas 10×50 – 259152 – M H/6400”, these represent one of the higher-quality optics issued to officers, artillery observers, and specialist troops. Lenses remain clear and adjustable. The leather neck strap is original, and the leather tab bears the maker’s logo and a clear 1939 date. A solid and desirable early-war Leitz set.
E. Leitz Wetzlar produced some of the finest optics of the period, supplying the Wehrmacht throughout the war. The 10×50 configuration offered superior low-light performance, making them highly valued among artillery spotters, reconnaissance troops, and field officers, especially during the early campaigns where visibility and long-range observation were essential.
Good overall condition with expected field wear. Exterior shows paint loss and patina from service use. Optics remain clear with smooth focus. Leather strap shows age but remains intact.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor
