Japanese Naval binoculars
I always seem to find WWII antiques when I visit people. This was a pair of Japanese Naval binoculars from what may have been something similar to a pt boat. The heavy pair of binoculars is about 16”-20” long and has a tripod mount. The inscription is shown in my bad Japanese handwriting.

Awesome, and they are stand mount too..."BIG EYES" (what we call them in the USN).Never seen one of these. The different metals are cool.THanksGunBlack 2 TX Flight Leader"In a match, the pilot who kills only one enemy and lands safely is priceless beyond measure, while the pilot who kills two and dies once is almost worthless, as he has lost a plane, a pilot and forsaken his wingman"

..Kingsnake, those are really cool. I was wondering as I looked at the pics as to what the size of the optics(lenses) were. Are these yours or a friends? Nice find no matter what!TX-CudaMinister of Information
