Original Item: Only One Available. These are very fine set of genuine WW1 British officer’s binoculars. The inside maroon velvet lining of the case is nicely marked in gold lettering:
ROSS
MANUFACTURING OPTICIAN
CLAPHAM COMMON
LONDON S.W.
The quality leather case is also marked three times with large British military broad arrow stamps. Although totally present, the neck strap is broken, but could certainly be repaired. The buckle strap for keeping the lid secured is also absent from the second buckle hole.
The binoculars themselves are in a superior condition with perfect optics and both bakelite
eye cups are in excellent undamaged condition. Each side of the viewing tubes also have large
inlaid broad arrow markings to indicate military ownership and specification. The slim binocular neck strap is present and undamaged showing 100 years of age.
