The "repair shop" refurbed an ex German WW2 Pair of ?Zeiss
binoculars that had been 'expropriated' by a UK navy
captain when the sub was intercepted in 1945.
No gooey rubber, just three layers of paint,
Original Green, then battleship grey that the Navy
commander repainted it in, and then black that his
son painted it in again.
Considering the hostile salty environment and 70
years later, I was quite surprised that it came apart
at all.
