****SOLD**** WWII RAF night vision brass binoculars with original case: $40

****SOLD**** WWII Royal Air Force night vision binoculars with the original case.   The case and binoculars are both clearly marked with the 'AM' Air Ministry stamp and the reference number (6E-338).   The brown leather case is also marked with 'Binoculars for Night Use.'  The binoculars are marked with a crown as well.   The lenses are clear though they could use a little cleaning.


The materials are gorgeous, even with some wear and minor damage.  The binoculars are brass, with black crinkle-finish paint, which has worn off in spots to reveal the aged brass beneath.   The eyepieces are bakelite, and one of them is chipped, but this does not affect the optics.   The case is made of sturdy brown leather and is lined in blue velvet.

Rare & lovely - would make a nice item to display on a mantel (steampunk, anyone?) or on a window ledge.
Price: $40
