Hello,
I have been sitting on these binocs for about 15 years now and I really dont know how much they are worth. I have seen some go for as much as 2200 US dollars on ebay. Mine are in very good condition. The leather strap however is not attached anymore, but I have it. The paint is chipping in just a couple of spots and it's very minor and also there is minor cracking on the rubber peices, hardly noticeable. The markings under the rubber pieces are ... 7x50 46184 BLC I tracked that serial number to either 1911 or 1912. Again, I am wondering what these could sell for. I am planning on selling these in the VERY near future. Thank you, Shawn

This is confusing. I keep finding contradicting information on the serial numbers.
This website dates them to early 1900s Here is a picture of the binoculars I own that I found on the Internet... http://www.trinitymarine.co.uk/products/132/2898/good_pair_of_kriegsmarine_7x50_u_boat_binoculars/ Any idea how much these could fetch at auction?
