WW2 Imperial Japanese Navy BIG EYE 15x80 SHIPBOARD BINOCULARS NIKON RARE

  
This "Big Eye" style was specifically used on late-war battleships, destroyers, cruisers and other surface vessels! These were brought back by a US veteran who served in the Pacific. Made of a solid brass, aluminum, and steel by Nikko (Nikon) this set of binoculars is in VERY GOOD used condition! Manufactured in 1944, they retain 85% of their original paint, and all optics are EXTREMELY CLEAR (though there is some slight spotting and dust particles)! Optical alignment is also almost perfect! Features a gradient scale in the right eye piece. The center features a prominent data plate indicating all manufacture information; the manufacture date (February 1944) and serial number "1105". The 80mm front objectives are slightly recessed, and both focus adjustment (though a bit stiff) function perfectly! The manual sights are damaged (see photos), with the forward sight been bent... But that could easily be fixed/replaced. Sun Shields extend as they should. It would make a SUPERB addition to any collection or display! Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage.

Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft Fw190, Me262, etc. , as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period.
