U-boat binoculars cxn 7x50

[Jill]

Hi all,

My Dad recently dug out an old pair of binoculars given to him from his uncle years ago. He knew they were U-boat binoculars but didn't know much else about them. We've recently started trying to find a bit more information about them, but it seems like most of the interest surrounds Zeiss models, and we can't seem to find too much about the pair my Dad owns from general internet searches, so would be really interested to find out more about them if anyone can help?

Here's what we do know:

My great-uncle was on a ship called HMS Zephyr, a British destroyer, during the war, and we assume it was during this time that he came across the binoculars. They're 7x50 cxn (which we found is the code for the manufacturer Emil Busch), and serial number is 456902. I will attach a few photographs for interest.

It seems that this is the best place to ask, as there's a lot of information here, and we'd really appreciate if anyone has any more information about these binoculars.

Cheers,

Jill

These are Nazi era binoculars, This is the imperial German (to 1918) forum. You would get better results putting your post in the WWII German section.

Hi Chip, thanks. I realised this shortly after posting, and copied my post over to the relevant forum. Couldn't find how to delete the original though! Is there a simple way?

You can delete your own posts for a period after you post them. Then the opportunity goes away. Down in the bottom right hand corner there is a faint gray "Delete" next to the "MultiQuote" box.
