The lack of an open sight and the red paint job are an anomaly as well. the term blc means CarlZeiss, emq or rin would mean CarlZeissJena as on Mobutus optic-w/o 3 letter designation. Others: dpv Zeiss Ikon A.G., Dresden dpw Zeiss Ikon A.G., Berlin dpx Zeiss Ikon A.G., Stuttgart Mobutu's low serial # and the use of the entire logo instead of a war-time 3 letter designation( there were a hundred binocular manufactures-each with a three letter designation) suggest a prewar U D F. A lot of variety: http://www.binoculars-cinecollectors.com/U-boat_binoculars_2.pdf
