Produced during World War II by Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar, Germany, under manufacturer code "beh", this 6x30 Dienstglas military optical set displays upper prism plate stampings reading "Dienstglas 6x30", serial number "347188", reticle unit designation H/6400", manufacturer code "beh", and cold-climate grease mark "KF" (Kältestarrfett). An internal reticle scale (ranging grid) is integrated into the optical system. The binoculars measure 4.5 inches high by 6.5 inches wide (11.4 cm H x 16.5 cm W)and weigh 379 grams (13.4 oz). Constructed with metal frame elements and textured body coverings, the unit maintains smooth central hinge pivot movement and smooth individual diopter focus adjustments. Viewing clarity remains good with the internal reticle grid visible, though internal dust spotting is present across both optical channels. All exterior components, including the frame, prism cover caps, barrels, and eyecups, have been repainted.
