10 x 50 Dienstglas rln gray model - Carl Zeiss Jena 1944 - Production number 100272
This model was produced by CZJ, It is marked in the war time code - rln. It is a service binocular.
The binocular is a little different from the model described above. It does not have a texture on the body. The paint color is dark gray, which is hardly ever applied on the military model 10x50. It is smooth and very elegant.
The first models of this binocular - rln, under about 85 000 serial numbers were painted black, and did not have coating on the lenses. Around 88 000 manufacture the color on the body and objective tubes was dark gray and on the top and the bottom plates and objective rings was painted black. It had coated optics, giving superior performance against uncoated models.
The coating applied on the binocular lenses is internal. The eye and objective lenses are coated on the surfaces from inside of the binocular. The coating applied at that time was very soft. Applying a coating on the inner surfaces of the lens, prevented the destruction of the blooming. Other models had coating on external area and often it is seen as visible destruction on the blooming, caused by cleaning of the lenses.
Code rln markings was introduced around November 1944.
We are reading about this model in Dr Stephen Rohan book (page 116) - “A guide to Handheld Military Binoculars 1894-1945” : “ After a short battle American forces of the 80th Infantry Division, Third Army entering the Zeiss factory in Jena in April 1945 found many rln marked binoculars still there awaiting shipment. All of these binoculars were shared as “war trophies” by men of that liberating force”.
The rln gray model was produced in size 6x30 with coated lenses, monocular 6x30, and 7x50 gray model.
In our collection is rln 7x50 Gasmask binocular, but in black paint and coated.
Our binocular has a few accessories; a leather rain cover which is suspended on the binocular strap, in different way than some 7x50 blc model
(look page 3). Next equipment is a leather strap as to fixed the binocular to a tunic button on the uniform.
The binocular is marked with small +, it does meant that grease applied on the binoculars is able to protect it from damages to a temperature up to -40C. It is the same kind of grease, which was applied on the 10x50 blc model. This type of grease was applied to the binoculars from 1.11.1942. It was time when Germany invaded Russia. In the winter time the temperature in Russia, at that time was very low - it dropped to below -40C. It was essential to change the grease formula.

Hi Xavier, Tried to write something here but was told to log on and lost everything. I'd already logged on, so wonder how these bloody compooters are so clever. Anyway, here we go again and hope this gets through. My No.1 son pinched my binoculars (modern mini type) which I use when sitting on the patio and watching the birds at the feeding station, with a cold 'tinnie' at hand. I remembered I had an old pair under the stairs so got them out. I got them when we were clearing out my cousins house when she died. Installing garageband jam packs online game. They belonged to her husband.
I remember them from when I was in my early teens. I also remember him having a pistol and knives. Apparently my cousin handed them in to the police when he died.

Where he got the binoculars from I do not know, as, like my dad, he did not talk about his experience in the war. My father gave me a booklet called (I think) 'The Wanderings of the Black Cat'. I think it was about the route my cousins husbands unit took after 'D' Day. Unfortunately, before I had time to read it my father asked for it back as he wanted to show it to someone. Due to a family break up I'm afraid I have not got it now. Anyway, to the binoculars. Markings on them are as follows:- Right lense:- Dienstglas 6 x 30 + 23182 H/6400 It also has the reticule markings. Algae by vashishta pdf free.

Left lense:- bek KF They are in a canvas case which I believe to be British as it is marked M.E. It is strange that a pair of German binoculars fit perfectly in to a British case.
I look forward to any feedback. I assume they are nothing special, but I was wondering if there were records somewhere which showed who was issued with the binoculars. As an aside, I have a WW2 kukri which my father brought back. He was stationed in Burma. I rescued it from an aunt who was using it to chop firewood. Unfortunately I ruined it by painting the scabbard black.

Doppelfernrohr - (Dienstglas 6 x 30 Service Glasses) The German army used an extensive variety of optical equipment during the war, items such as the 6 x 30 power binoculars (6 power magnification with a 30mm diameter objective lens) were one of the most common types seen since they were the standard issue field optics utilized by all branches of service. These are generally encountered in a black painted finish and were typically constructed from zinc and aluminium alloy metal.

Late war (post 1943) manufactured glasses came in an ordnance tan paint finish often fitted with moulded brown Bakelite fittings and some encountered were manufactured entirely from Bakelite. The right lens usually has a horizontal reticle pattern with vertical bars originating from the centre, in increments of 10 degrees up to 40 degrees to each side. Standard markings on the body can normally be found on the left hand side, ocular body panel with the impressed designation, 'Dienstglas 6 x 30', (Service Glasses) along with a production serial number. The right hand ocular body panel is also often marked with the impressed manufacturer’s three letter code in this case being 'cxn' - the code for Emil Busch A-G, Optische Industrie, Rathenow.
Most service glasses came in either a leather or moulded Bakelite case to afford maximum protection during service life. Since the 6 x 30 power binoculars were of a relatively low magnification being well-intentioned for just general field observations, specialized troops such as Kriegsmarine, Artillery observers, Reconnaissance personnel, Flak & Searchlight personnel etc required far stronger optics and assorted larger more powerful binoculars were issued to these specialized personnel on a limited basis. Doppelfernrohr - Dienstglas 10 x 50 Service Glasses In 1934 the German OKW, Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, (High Command of the Armed Forces), requested a mobile, multi-purpose, high power binocular with a wide field of vision. The Emil Busch optical firm of Rathenow submitted a 10 x 50 power binocular which was found suitable and accepted for production. The 10 x 50 power binoculars were produced by assorted optical firms in three minor variants with the main difference being in the angle alignment of the prism and ocular lenses with a twenty degree angle pattern, a forty-five degree angle pattern and eighty degree angle pattern. This set is stamped 'blc', indicating that they were manufactured by Carl Zeiss. EM34 & EM36 Entfernungsmesser 1m - Range Finder When using any artillery or anti-aircraft guns effectively, accurately estimating range to the target is critical to the success of a direct hit on the target.
Many armies around the world employed optical equipment specially designed for range finding and although most looked very similar in design, two schools of thought existed with one type working on the theory of coincidence and the other being a stereoscopic based vision system. The German’s like most other armies favoured the coincidence of images principal. These Rangefinders using this coincidence theory work on the known principal of triangulation were by knowing the distance between two points which we call the base line (i.e. The two objective lens being 1000mm apart in the device) and the angle of these two points relative to the target, one can work out the distance by using trigonometry.
In the R36 this calculation is worked out with a very complicated internal mechanical computer which reads out the data using dials and a split overlaid image reticule seen through the view finder which the viewer matches up and reads off the scale the distance to target. However to do this the operator must have extremely good eye sight to accomplish this accurately so candidates must be evaluated for suitability first. Worth remembering also is that the bigger the baseline the more precise the ranging is and to this end Germans employed range finding equipment frequently up to 4 metres in length specially developed for coastal and anti-aircraft batteries because of the typically large distances involved ranging ships and high altitude aircraft.
Naturally of course the limitations of accuracy reached are often dictated by air quality and weather conditions and then ultimately the curvature of the earth. The Scherenfernrohr S.F.14.Z.Gi.
1894 saw the famous German optics firm of Carl Zeiss introduce a new and unusual type of prism binoculars. Zeiss called its invention the Scherenfernrohr (scissors telescope) an 8 x 10 power device fitted with adjustable twin periscopic extensions connected by a hinge. An observer could position the tubular 'ears' upright and parallel to each other or splayed out horizontally for greater depth perception (stereoscopic vision), causing objects to appear in modelled relief, strongly distinct from the background and thus estimate the range. This hybrid between binoculars and a periscope enabled the observer to remain safely concealed in dug outs, behind walls or even tree trunks with only the objective lens visible to the enemy. 1905 saw the design refined further with an army-issue variant and a field artillery model being trialled and adopted. Naturally other countries produced their own versions of the scissors telescope and when World War I broke out both opposing armies all along the Western Front observed each other from their trenches using such equipment. By World War II the design remained virtually unchanged except for an upgrade in magnification to 10 x 50 and continued to be a useful tool in the Wehrmacht for general observation (in both vehicles and on the ground) and for artillery fire observation and direction throughout the war.

Saitek cyborg 3d gold. Oddly the post-war West German Bundeswehr never use the Scherenfernrohr device at all, but East Germany's Nationale Volksarmee and other Warsaw-pact countries including Russia continued to do so long after the war ended. According to 'Der Artillerist, (1) Der Kanonier (1940) the SF was to be used for: 1) Observation and reconnaissance 2) Measuring angles of azimuth 3) Measuring angles of site and elevation 4) Measuring height of shell bursts 5) Establishing safety zones for advancing friendly troops 6) And to lay field guns.
To aid ground infantry and artillery observers the Scherenfernrohr was used in conjunction with a tripod leg assembly. It normally came with accessories such as the azimuth mount and spirit level, tripod, carrying case, and other items such as a battery powered removable illumination lamp kit and a trench mount (often referred to as a tree screw which was approximate to a sort of cork screw that could allow the mount to be imbedded in wood or the ground).
The Scherenfernrohr S.F.14.Z.Gi was often seen employed in different roles such as in vehicles being specifically delivered as standard equipment in many German armoured fighting vehicles such as the StuG III, Jagdpanzer IV, Panther and on the King Tiger where it can often be seen poking out the commanders cupola primarily as a safe method for him to observe the enemy without risk to life. Most if not all Scherenfernrohr’s came equipped with a reticule grid pattern and were designated as such in their markings found on the base of the right tube as ‘S.F. Meaning 'Gitterplatte' (Grid Pattern).

This can apply to models with either the grid or rarer L-shaped style reticule pattern. This grid pattern feature is used for ranging using lines graduated at 10 mil intervals where the H/6400 is a common artillery scale used by the Wehrmacht where the ‘H’ stands for Heer.
