Lot 13110 | Zeiss 7x50, Bauart RZA (Rohrzielapparat), Kriegsmarine, um 1939
Zeiss 7x50, Bauart RZA (Rohrzielapparat), Kriegsmarine, um 1939
SN 173184. Die linke Abdeckung mit Adler / "M" über "275", rechts gemarkt "T", darunter Zeiss Logo über "7x50 / 173184". Auf beiden Abdeckungen Hebel zur Filterverstellung mit den Positionen "Scheinw.", "Sonne" und "ohne Gl.", die beiden Hebel über eine Koppelstange verbunden. Der Arretierknopf fehlt. Verstellung leichtgängig, interne Filterscheiben intakt, aber verstellt. Beidseitige Okularverstellung leichtgängig. Original Gummi-Augenmuscheln, die linke etwas brüchig. Rechts RZA-Spezialstrichplatte mit doppelter Strichplattenbeleuchtung (ohne Lampen und Schraubdeckel). Originales Finish aus glattem grünen Lack, dieser mit den üblichen Gebrauchsspuren. An der unteren Brücke Schraube zur Befestigung am RZA, daher keine Trageösen. Gewicht 1,6 kg. Durchsicht 1-, kleine Stelle der Verklebung rechts gelöst, aber bei Durchblick nicht sichtbar. Extrem seltenes Glas! Dieses Spezialglas wurde für die Befestigung auf der Rohr-Zielanlage zur Torpedosteuerung, z.B. auf Schnellbooten und Zerstörern, entwickelt.


Provenienz: ex-Sammlung Robert L. Johnstone: nach Angaben dessen Sohnes hatte Herr Johnstone das Glas von General Charles Maclaren als Geschenk erhalten. Dieser hatte das Glas erhalten, nachdem sich U-190 im Mai 1945 der kanadischen Marine ergeben hatte.
Zeiss 7x50, RZA-pattern, Kriegsmarine, ca. 1939
Zeiss 7x50, RZA-pattern, Kriegsmarine, ca. 1939
SN 173184. The left cover marked Eagle / "M" over "149", the right one "T" above Zeiss Logo over "7x50 / 173184". Both covers with levers to adjust the filter setting from (tr.) "Search light" to "Sun" to "No filter", with a horizontal coupling bar. Smooth operation, filters intact (but need alignment), the locking button on the right lever missing. Smooth diopter adjustment. Rubber eye cups, the left one brittle with some minor cracks. Graticule on the right with dual illumination system, the illumination device and the screw caps missing. Original finish of smooth greenish paint, with the usual signs of wear. On the lower bridge attachment screw to fix binoculars on the RZA, therefore no carrying latches. Weight 1.6 kg. Transparency 1-, a small area of the lense bonding in the left tube dissolved, but not visible. Extremely rare!
These highly sought-after binoculars feature a unique stepped reticle illumination system, tailor-made for use with torpedo tube targeting devices on e.g. "S-Boats" or cruisers.
Provenance: ex-collection Robert Legrande Johnstone: according to his son Mr. Johnstone had received these binoculars from General Charles Maclaren as gift. The General in turn had "captured" these binoculars after the surrender of German U-190 to the Canadian Navy in May of 1945.
