How much are World War 2 binoculars worth?

Answer 1

Value can depend on a number of things. The most rare and valuble binoculars are German ones produced at Jena and bearing the eagle and swatstikka, these are rare because after heavy allied bombing at Jena the name and swatstikka were replaced with the code b.e.h. With original case and straps these binoculars are extremely valuble and rare. If it can be proved they belonged to certain ships or individuals the value goes up again. There was recently a set went up for auction on e-bay proven to be off the ill fated Prinz Eugen and the reserve was $250,000, no kidding! Most of the Allied binoculars are worth between about $100 to $400 and are much more common and widely available. Value can depend on a number of things.
