I have a very nice pair of 6x30 German binoculars I purchased at an estate sale.
They are marked Dienstglas
6x30

I have tried to place the markings in the same order as they appear on the glasses. They have a nice riveted leather strap and some minor wear and scuffing on the paint. They have not been repainted and are in better shape paintwise than most examples I have been able to find on the web but not pristine.
They were purchased from the estate of a Lt. US army 1942. I also have some of his training manuals. I have one listed right now on my ebay account. You can check my references there as hoghungry1.
Unfortunatly I am having camera issues (battery won't charge) or I would post some good pictures of these. I chose this site rather than ebay because I see who really appreciates items like these and I won'thave to deal with a lot of frivolous questions.
I will accept paypal and the buyer must pay all shipping costs. I feel paypal is a good guarentee of buyer satisfaction. I am 100 percent on ebay.
Bought this Mauser 98k dress bayonet along a with a u.s. fighting knife, the reason I'm posting this is at the end of the blade cover it looks like a 10 year old took black spray paint to it, or is that how they were all like? the maker of it is Baron, sorry if the pics are bad, this is the best my camera can do.

Howdy! I need some help and found your forum. I have been a collector for about ten years and in business for myself for going on a year. I picked up these patches at a flea market last week and was told they were from WW2. I suspect German Kreigsmarine but I am not sure. I know one is Gebirgsjaeger. I wanted to see if someone has knowledge, expertise and could identify these patches and tell me if they are authentic and if so what value?
Any help you can provide me will be greatly appreciated!
