BidProwl Summary
1915 Carl Zeiss Jena 6x Marineglas naval binoculars, serial 546892, with original leather case: brass frame shows authentic field wear including verdigris oxidation and brass-peaking, but glass is clear and optics function smoothly. Collectors and military history dealers pursue WWI German optics for display value and documentation of engineering quality. Inspect the hinge mechanism and focusing adjustments closely in person since the listing claims fluid operation but wear is visible, and verify the leather case stitching and hardware are as tight as described before committing.

Description from HiBid
Constructed in 1915 under a WWI naval contract, this Carl Zeiss Jena "Marineglas" binocular set bears serial number 546892. It features a robust heavy brass frame designed to withstand maritime conditions during the Great War. The binoculars measure11.4 cm H x 16.5 cm W (4.5" H x 6.5" W) and weigh 660 g (1 lb 7.3 oz). The individual ocular focusing functions with factory-smooth precision. The body displays authentic field wear characterized by "brass-peaking" and areas of verdigris oxidation around the ringed details. The optical glass remains clear and defect-free, while both the hinge and focusing adjustments operate fluidly. Accompanying the binoculars is the original reddish-brown leather case, which retains tight stitching and operational hardware and measures 14.0 cm H x 17.8 cm W (5.5" H x 7.0" W). The period-specific patina of both the instrument and case attests to extended, high-integrity naval service. PM/OT
