Description
This is an original WWII German dienstglas bakelite case for the 6x30 binoculars. Its interior is marked "T2", which denotes Type 2 materials (synthetic resin with asbestos and other organic fillers). The stylized "MD" was the official proof marking of the Materialpruefungsamt, a phenolic resin manufacturers' guild. The "OF" marking is that of its manufacturer, which unfortunately has yet to be positively identified. One of its leather straps is embossed with the Waffenamt "WaA14".

Bakelite dienstglas cases often have torn leather straps; however, this example's straps are still intact and pliable. There is a series of small cracks near one of the carrying strap's hangers.
