INCREDIBLE Original wartime pair of German Army Dienstglas 7x50 field binoculars, manufactured by bmk (Srb & Stys, Prague). These high-quality optics feature interchangeable filter lenses for low-light and anti-glare conditions, a right-side range-finding reticle, and the maker code bmk with serial number 157498 on the plate. Designed for field and observation use by Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine personnel, these were favoured for their wide objective lenses and durability.
The 7x50 Dienstglas was the standard optical instrument for Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine officers during WWII, designed for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and naval observation. The bmk coded models by Srb & Stys were particularly valued for their coated optics and high optical clarity. The addition of filter lenses provided protection from glare and improved performance under various lighting conditions, making them a key piece of German wartime field equipment.
Good overall condition with expected wartime wear. Partial loss of black finish and minor corrosion to the objective rims. Left lens has a fine hairline crack but remains clear during use. Textured grip largely intact with minor flaking. Lenses show some dust and minor internal speckling consistent with age. Mechanically sound, optics align properly.
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
