WW2 German Army 6x30 Binoculars ~ A pair of early Second World War binoculars. With the 'Dienstglas' (service glass) brand serial number 270779 ddx.

Possibly ones that work well in body copy? Although they seem to be increasingly popular in current publications. I haven't used them much in my design work. GQ's use of Soho to name but one.

Thank,you Michael, of interest also was the left prism covers.None of them had the original Voigtlander commercial logo. My observations of ddx binoculars indicate that the Voigtlander logo was replaced by ddx on the left prism plate about #55442.

My own observations of ddx and your observations (above) lead me towards a possible explanation as to the significance of the '0'on certain ddx binoculars I wonder whether certain Voigtlander binoculars were returned to the factory at Braunschweig during WW2 and received a service including upgrade internal lubrication to the current standard and their original serial number was given a '0' prefix.The serviced binoculars received 2x replacement top prism covers. This may explain why ddx '0' marked binoculars generally have the same physical features as their non '0' marked siblings.The added '0' is always of the same font and perfectly aligned to indicate that it was not added later. However one point that is not very convincing about my theory is that it supposes that ddx binoculars needed to go back to Braunschweig for this service.It would be possible for ddx to service other Dienstglas binoculars makes but perhaps the ddx factory only marked up their own branded binoculars in the above manner for a realatively short period of time.( the sandfarben coloured ddx Dienstglas from about serial 270XXX did not include a '0' series).

Could be an explanation. Stew, I have compiled a table of the ddx low O series serial numbers (all with photographs) which I have on file. In my opinion the grease type symbols are particularly revealing. The grease symbols are not in sequence and include three different symbols, which is rather odd given that the total ddx low O series serial range is only around 7,000 or so. Interesting to note that the one H/6400 marked bino in this O series is the odd bino out.

After my list this one should have the grease type symbol '+'. I have add a part of my list with low '0' serial numbers. I can suggest an explanation.

But I cannot say if it takes known serial numbers into account. Suppose that ddx serials went to 100.000. Since the numbering alledgedly started at 50000, then 00001 would be a unique number. If their numbering machine could not manage more than 5 digits, this might have been done. Of course, this would only be a temporary measure. But it does look like how the year stamps on leather goods, like pistol holsters, late in the went from 44 to a single 4.

My guess has for many years been, that they did not have a 5 digit stamp available. So what could not be made, was omitted for the time being. If this could be right, then ddx serial numbers up to 99999 should be known, and again, if I understand what was written earlier here, correctly, above about 107000. I dont think that the numbering machine could only (at first) manage five or less digits. The first binos without ddx code have the number 16xxx. The first binos with code ddx starts with the number 50xxx with ddx on the left plate and H/6400 on the right plate.
