Steiner Commander Binoculars Military Rare Retro Vintage GERMAN ARMY . Condition is For parts or not working
Not sure if working
The Steiner ‘Commander’ 7×50 (EB) Monocular is supplied with a compass (see picture with opened cover). This can be lightened by night (2 AA batteries needed). The diviation is projected into a small display at the bottom of the ocular image as 0-360 degrees. Moreover, there is a vertical bearing line with marks starting from zero – downward marked 10 and 20, upwards 10, 20 and 30 – the horizontal division lines running completely from top to bottom.
The olive green rubber armouring hints at a military use (Steiner produced optics for the German army), but is also a helpful device for maritime use. So, the monocular is spray water resistant and has a lens cap. There is a switch for the compass light at the screwed-on handle as well as atripod thread at the bottom. A strap makes holding and viewing easier. The dioptre adjustment has 4 marking lines from +4 to -4. The soft rubber eyecup can be folded down for spectacle wearers.
The compass is inscribed with the Steiner emblem and “Commander 7×50” model name. The rubber covering is marked either with “GA” for German “gummiarmiert” (= rubber armoured) or “Steiner Germany”. The reference model is also marked “7×50 EB Made in W. Germany” and with serial number 46835 at the screw plate holding the objective cap.
