British "Desert Storm" period 6x30 Binoculars question with pictures

**breakeyp** · 03-21-2019 03:14 PM

These are the first pair of this type that I have seen. Probably pinched by a returning US GI from Desert Storm. Six power 6x30 unmarked as to manufacturer. Serial number 97/0563 indicates manufacture in 1997??? NSN 6650-66-140-7670 are the markings on the left side and I do not understand the marking on the right side:

Laser Filtered/at 1064mm, OD4/FOV/142 mils. Can someone explain this marking? It does have a mil scale.

Attachment 99471 Attachment 99472 Attachment 99473 Attachment 99474

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

NSN 6650-66-140-7670, would indicate Australian icon

or Australian origin.

These were being sold on e-XXX about 4 or 5 years ago. Aussie made and used.

I will say having the field of vision arc marking ('FOV 142 mils') was a nice touch.
