WW2 German U-Boat Commanders 8×60 Binoculars in Original Transit Box, a most superb example of the extremely desirable and rare German binoculars as favoured by the German U-Boat commanders, these being the 8×60 set also known by collectors as the ‘Fat Boy’. The set retains nearly all of the original paint finish to the body. The lens plate is stamped ‘8×60 2111423 blc’. Complete with the original lens cover in bakelite. What makes this pair of binoculars so rare is that they are still housed in the original storage box which retains much of the battleship grey paint finish, the interior lid of the box with eagle stamp and ‘b l c’. Some minor paint loss and small chips to the paint on the body of the binoculars but the lenses still remain clear.
