Important! Carl Zeiss and Zeiss not the same Company

i buy a Carl Zeiss binoculars NVA (Nationale Volksarmee)7X40 the seller write in the description : NEW , I receive not new but look like new , one side, i see the trace of fog in the prism and the screw have a trace of screwdriver , i decide return to seller , before return ,

(only for knowing)
i send a request to Zeiss ( for the price ) , for repair ( clean-up ) the prism in the Carl Zeiss binoculars NVA 7X40 .

The Zeiss company not repair or clean-up the Carl Zeiss binoculars, all Carl Zeiss

here the reply from Zeiss :

Dear M Pierre N.

We regret to inform you that we are not able to repair your NVA 7x40 binoculars.

Please see the excerpt below regarding Jena Binoculars:

Product Repair Information (Jena Binoculars)


We are unable to repair/service the older Jena products that were manufactured before WWII. This area of Germany (Jena) became part of the Eastern zone at the close of the War and the Zeiss company "relocated" rather quickly in the Western zone. Unfortunately, since many of the parts, prints and tools were left behind, we are no longer able to repair these products.




If the Jena product was manufactured after WWII, then it was made in East Germany. After Zeiss relocated to the western zone, the government took over the old facility in Jena and production began again using the Zeiss name. Since this was a "state-owned" facility, the company of Carl Zeiss Jena no longer existed after the reunification in 1989. This company was in no way affiliated with our company and information regarding repairs and parts are not available.

Question Helmet Price

I've always wanted one of these and this one has been consistantly lowering in price. The seller is asking 19.99 USD + 40 USD shipping. So my question is: Is this helmet beyond help?

If anybody has any that they want to get rid of I will make a good offer. :)

Sign This Petition!

Hi guys,

I thought i would bring this to your attention as i think it warrants as wider audience as possible.

'We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to pass a new
law making it illegal to impersonate, misrepresent, or falsify
connections (past or present) with HM Forces including the
wearing of uniforms complete or in part and the adorning of
medals awarded either for campaign service, long service and
services of distinction for which they are not entitled.
Further to this and in particular, we would request that the
government consider making it a criminal offence for those who
aspire to make personal or corporate financial gain from such
acts of fraudulent deceit.'


It is something over looked and needs to be addressed.

Here is the link: Petition to: pass a new law making it illegal to impersonate, misrepresent, or falsify connections (past or present) with HM Forces including the wearing of uniforms complete or in part and the adorning of medals awarded either for campaign service,

And also a video that accompanies the petition: YouTube - Stolen Honour

I know we have forces/ ex forces on here and the support would be appreciated. Also read the small print...Re-enactors are welcome! :D....

Regards, Donnie.

SD Mann?

Forgive the newbie question, but-

Did the actual membership of the SD include enlisted men, or did its officers co-opt men from the A-SS or TV when they needed muscle?

Question Helmet maker query

Hi Chaps, I would be obliged if you could have a look at the attached shell. I know that it is not an original SS lid but I have a query with the maker stamp. The shell is large at size 68 and the only markings that I can find on the shell are on the rear skirt. The marking reads

-
c 166
3540

Any ideas who made it? and is it WW2 period?

Cheers in advance

Andy
