I bet, just wondering since they do not say deinstglass or feldgalss if they might be a civilian version....

Nice example of a Feldglas 08. Many have lost paint but yours is still on and looks original. Also, some look put together after the War and lack serial number and military acceptance marking. However, yours has a serial number and a "K" marking indicating Gewehr Prufongskommission Spandau acceptance which is is usually present on this type field glass. It is definitely military, not civilian.
