Is it for the commander of Uboat or for other Batleship ?



-1941 is the first BLC 8 x60 (tall one) mine is N°2118284 batch by Zeiss of 200 fev 1941
I leave in france and i thing after the war France soldiers have take some Binoculars in the U Boat Bunkers why not it is a supposition !
-I have some pictures of uboat commander with this binoculars.

-An other question is why i have benutzer in leaver and the cap is white (the other cap i see in website are Black).

Thanks to Marte

" The Carl Zeiss Jena binoculars (blc) no 2118284 were produced in 1941.

The incsriptions on the right side are specific military inscriptions and we have no records regarding that.

I hope this information is useful. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
