SOLD - WWII Deutsches Afrikakorps Hensoldt-Wetzlar 10x50 Dienstglas Binoculars With Case

Description

4/23/24 - This is a great original example of classic 10 x 50 German WWII military issue binoculars. Made by Hensoldt & Sohne Werke A-G in Wetzlar, Germany ,this beautiful set of 10x50 "Dialyt" model binoculars is in the more desirable higher power and finished in the correct Afrikakorps Dunkelgelb (Dark Yellow)tan. The wood lined black leather case is in good condition with great stitching and smooth un-cracked leather throughout. Unfortunately, the leather strap that attach to the lid are broken and not included as well as the shoulder strap. The metal strap is maker marked frn and dated 1942. Both diopter adjustments operate smoothly and the bakelite eye cups are excellent. The optics are in good+ condition and mostly clear, looks to be a hair or something across the right lenses because I don't see any cracks. Original leather neck strap. The binoculars are offered in great functional condition.
