Zeiss Binoculars

Zeiss wartime binoculars carried a coded letter identification marking to mask their makers.
The information is from Greg Bedore.

Some of the 3 digit letter codes designating Zeiss are:

Carl Zeiss, Jena: rin, lmq, blc
Zeiss Ikon, Dresden: dpv
Zeiss Ikon, Goerz, Berlin: dpw
Zeiss Ikon, Contessa, Stuttgart: dpx
Most military production carried no name but rather only the 3 digit alphabetic codes.
