Description


You are bidding on a VERY NICE set of WW2 Imperial Japanese Navy 20 x 3 Degree (20×120) Battleship Binoculars!  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, however I do not have any further history.

 

Made of a solid brass, aluminum, and steel by Toko, this set of binoculars is in VERY GOOD used condition!  Manufactured earlier in the war, they retain traces of their original paint, but mostly have a post-war black overpaint.  The optics are in decent alignment, with no chips or breaks that I can see.  Focus adjustments function perfectly!  No major spotting or dust particles, but the optics are a bit hazy.  Some paint chips and marks as you can see in the photos…as well as some scratches.  The 120mm front objectives are slightly recessed, however the sun shields are missing.  The oculars should normally rotate inward and outward slightly, so the user can adjust for eye spacing…however they are very stiff and do not move (also the cover is missing).  The winning bidder would need to lubricate these to be able to rotate.  Due to the large weight and size, I have had to estimate the shipping costs.  I will provide a more accurate cost to the winning bidder (dependent on shipping location).  It would make a SUPERB addition to any collection or display!

 Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements. I accept all forms of payment. 

 

 ——————- SHIPPING —————– 

My goal is to ship within 7 days from auction end. However, depending on circumstances, it may take up to an additional 1 week from receipt of confirmed payment. If you need it shipped sooner, please let me know and I will do our best to accommodate.

  

——————- TERMS OF SALE —————– 

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. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase. 

 

——————- ABOUT ME —————– 

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. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
