The glasses have a steel frame, zero magnification lenses and fabric loops to secure them safely over the ears.
The glasses come in a paper lined, grey steel tin with the words Masten-Baille on them which translates as “Mast Glasses” so I presume they were used by the Kriegsmarine for lookout duties to protect the eyes from sea spray.

The glasses are in excellent order, they do not appear to have been used. The case has a few areas of light corrosion.
