Heavy! Weighs a lot. Feels good to hold, solid, robust... Russian! http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...s/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:

I love pocket watches. :up:

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:

Admiral8Q 04-04-10 02:36 AM

Very nice!!! :yeah:

Of course - they are "coated"! http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...lies/dopey.gif

Looks really great! :up:


May I ask how much you paid for them?

Admiral8Q 04-04-10 07:11 AM

This is what my "Ultimate" door bell would sound like...

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.

Just over a 100 bucks.

Sledgehammer427 04-05-10 03:36 AM

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:
