The binoculars come with the original instructions, original case and original leather straps, there is a little wear and tear on the straps, case and binoculars themselves which is from them being used. WARRANTY & GUARANTEE ON USED ITEMS. We offer a 6 month warranty against malfunction (excluding batteries). We cannot accept liability for damage caused by misuse.

Well, now it is a Leitz

very long range project,
please send me by Private mail all data on your Dienstglas 6x30, 7x50 and 10x50 model binoculars, plus serial number and maker, I am attempting to create a database
Only will be accepted models with the word dienstglas stamped and number, could be maker marked or code marked, only WWII
I am trying is to form batches of binoculars #'s and cross information with pieces with known provenance, also if you have provenance with your binoculars, please comment, dates, formation, past owner (veteran) info,where captured etc etc.
list will be updated here every week or sooner
please, only by private mail or email to
