    WW2 Air Ministry binoculars - 6E/293 & 6E/471

    WW2 Air Ministry binoculars generally come marked AM and either 6E/293 or 6E/471. I had assumed that those marked 471 were a later development of those marked 293, but I have seen those marked 293 with a date of 1944 and those marked 471 with a date of 1942. Does anyone know the difference between the two?

    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.

    Terry Vacani if he's still with us, would the one to ask.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
