WW1 British Military Field Binoculars
I have these X6 binoculars which I believe to have been in the family since the 1920s and were purchased by my Great Grandfather as WW1 war surplus shortly after the end of that conflict. I know that my Grandfather was in possession of them at the beginning of WW2 and he did use them for looking at aircraft as well as looking at V1's later in the war, not in any official capacity, but out of personal interest. I don't know a great deal about them, except that they are believed to be of WW1 vintage or older, although I can't see an obvious date and that they have never been serviced or had any maintenance while in private ownership yet they are in almost perfect working order with crystal clear optics. It's a testimony to the workmanship of the craftsmen who made it that they are still working so well, after all these years ,despite having had nothing done to them.
I am posting the pictures because I thought that other members may be interested and if anyone can provide any information about them such as the exact age I will be grateful. Thanks for looking.
