Original German WWII Ernst Leitz 10x50 Dienstglas Binoculars with Leather Case & Button Tab dated 1937 U.S. Artwork & Posters The exposure to the elements

The exposure to the elements explains the woo'd bleach appearance and the loss to some of the brass wire especially around the ball head

The "SWP" stamp on the stock is still visible in spite of this

The excellent bore is bright

Others assigned to MACV-SOG came from the United States Navy SEALs

The linen lining is in excellent condition and marked:
