    WWII Bino's

    I picked these up the other day 1943 Taylor - Hobson 6x as out of the ones currently on line these ones appeared to be the better value.
    Though not cheap they are in very good to excellent condition.
    The rt set has a small like lint item very low in the view but does not impinge on the general view through the prisms.
    They came with their tag and tropical canvas holder for them, did I get a good purchase.

    After I adjusted them to suit my eyes the view is crisp and sharp as are the stadia lines in the Rt hand side which superimposes on the general view when looking through them.
    So my basic question were these part of the CES for a sniper and could/were they used by a spotter to call the fall of shot for corrections. (Did it match the scope turrets)

    The other set I saw and still for sale is A. Kershaw & Son they look rather ratty and used are 1941 vintage reasonably cheap as well.
    They are from the same maker as my No.32 Mk III on my T.

    Thanks in advance for replies.
