Carl Zeiss 12 x 60 German Observation Binoculars, Second World War
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is an exceptional 20th century WWII German 12x60 observation binocular, presented on an adjustable wooden tripod. The binoculars were manufactured by the company Carl Zeiss. Carl Zeiss is a German manufacturer of optical systems, founded in Jena, Germany in 1846 by optician Carl Zeiss. These binoculars were used for long-watch land and sky observation by German forces between 1939 and 1945.
The binoculars were ruggedly constructed to withstand the rigors of field service. They were used for various tasks, including daylight observation of enemy troop movements, directing fire from artillery toward advancing enemy troops and armor, directing fire at enemy aircraft, and night observation. The angle of the binoculars allowed the observer to sustain watch for long periods of time. The angle also permitted a necessary versatility, as the watchman was able to perform both higher aerial observation and observation of enemy troops on the same visual plane as the watchman.
The wartime code for this binocular, “blc”, is engraved on the side of the binocular. “blc” is the secret manufacturing code assigned to Zeiss by the German Army Ordnance Department. The use of the “blc” code instead of the company’s normal logo on the side was a precautionary one, to ensure the secrecy of factory production should the binocular fall into enemy hands.
World War II binoculars are true military weapons, designed for defense and reconnaissance. They were never designed for civilian use, and were constructed without cost in mind, as the reliability of the optics far outweighed the monetary cost. The eyepieces can be adjusted for focus and the distance between your eyes with a turn of a knob, as can the shade settings for the lenses. This particular binocular also possesses sun filters. It was a known military tactic to fly in line with the sunlight and filters helped to cut the glare of the sun to increase plane and bomber tracking.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To spot fake Zeiss binoculars, examine their details and compare them to photos of authentic examples of the same model. Counterfeiters often miss small details. For instance, the focus knobs may be the wrong size or shape, or screw hardware may protrude in areas where they should be flush. Checking the serial number can also be beneficial. On Zeiss binoculars, you can usually find it along the hinge, below the right eyepiece or between the tube and the left hinge. Research your model to find out where the serial number should appear. If your binoculars have the serial number somewhere else, they may not be authentic. Cross-referencing the serial number with information shared on trusted online resources can also help you identify a fake. When in doubt, consult a knowledgeable expert, such as a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Carl Zeiss binoculars.
