Perhaps it was for civilian use or a custom order.I know the 8x24 is of WWI model & having "blc" changed my assumption on this binocular. Hence I would have to search more in depth in Zeiss' production list to find actual date of manufacture for this uncommon size. The serial number on the 8x24 does not signify that it was made before 1917, IF following Zeiss' cumulative production numbers. Well good for you, NAKA, if you collect binoculars.doesn't most member on here also? I found the ordnance code publication date for blc & it was issued to be in effect around mid February 1941. So when I came here to ask about this binocular & seeing such a rash answer. Dienstglas & BLC + being stamped & imprinted on right body doesn't even slightly changed his answer. & by just being that size.naka immediately assumed it was WWI.REGARDLESS of weathered out carl zeiss jena lable on left body. Well I understand 8x24 was not the standard issued binocular size to any WWII combatant.
