Original WWII German Kriegsmarine 7×50 binoculars manufactured by blc, a known wartime optical code. These naval-issued binoculars feature the correct heavy-duty construction intended for shipboard use, with clear optics and fully adjustable focus. The exterior shows extensive service wear, with much of the original textured finish worn smooth through prolonged use, giving the piece strong field-used character.
7×50 binoculars were the standard optical equipment issued to Kriegsmarine personnel due to their excellent light-gathering ability and wide field of view, making them ideal for naval observation. The blc maker code was assigned to a German optical manufacturer producing equipment for the Kriegsmarine during the war. Binoculars such as these would have been used aboard surface vessels, submarines, and coastal installations, where durability and optical performance were critical under harsh maritime conditions.
The binoculars are in good original condition, showing heavy external wear with most of the textured finish worn away from use. The lenses remain clear, focus functions correctly, and the body is structurally solid, presenting as an honest, well-used wartime example.
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
