I was looking at some of those just yesterday. How are they?Heavy! Weighs a lot. Feels good to hold, solid, robust... Russian! http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z15/subject_rod/smilies/biggrin3.gif
Diameter 5,5 cm ~ 2 in

Use it a lot in TMO... "Single contact, Sir! Long distance!" click! :88)

Can only recommend it. Wanted an authentic WW2 US Chronometer, but changed my mind when I saw the price... this will be perfectly fine! :smug:

High klaxon sirens hooked up to my doorbell? No. I can barely put up with the telephone ringing while I'm sleeping.:stare:

1944 US Navy Binoculars, made by the Spencer Lens Company. The case was made by Bausch & Lomb. And the cool thing is that the lenses (7x50) are crystal-clear. :up:

Wow nice!!! What a find!

But, if that's do not fell authentic for a WWII american skipper, at least you can fake it as you were te skipper of the Red October. I believe that either Sean connery or Sam Neil uses one of those to time evnts on the movie.

my grandpa has all sorts of stuff spanning all eras,
Civil war,
Korea,
WWII,
he doesn't have any WWI memorabilia oddly enough.

but Luke, he has 2 pair of those exact same binocs sitting in the garage. I know. but considering he has over $100,000 in guns and some really nasty nazi cutlery in his closet, why bother?
:haha:
I asked him for a pair though...he just glared at me:cry:
