Introduction of an old newbie

[Chainfire]

Greetings!

I invited myself to come join you folks. I am a grumpy old phart who has a strong interest in obsolete old military firearms and a new-found interest in collecting military binoculars. I have been a history buff for over 50 years. I have managed to gather in some old rusty rifles from 15 or 20 countries and I do enjoy airing them out on my home range. My weak suit is in American military firearms, I am a tightwad and the costs has kept me away. I finance my bad habits by teaching CCW classes.

Welcome to the Forum, Chainfire. I too have a few old military binoculars although I don't admit to collecting them specifically. I basically collect anything that takes my fancy especially if it's rare, unusual or interesting. My Father started collecting, as a child, during WW2 and some of the odds end ends which he accumulated I still have today.

"Over 50 yrs", WOW!!!
Always Glad to see you "Kids" & late bloomers get interested in the hobby!
Oh well, welcome aboard - even if you are late!
What is your interest in binoculars? I think I've got about a dozen pr, mostly WW 2 German, but also some US u. ruskie.
