A refurbished set of Nippon Kogaku 'Nikko' 60 degree inclined 15 x 80 4 degree field of view WW2 binoculars originally used for land, sea and air observation.
Stripped of the original paint and carefully polished to reveal the finer details of this outstanding pair of historic binoculars.
The binoculars have been paired with an antique German tripod with brass fittings and hard wood construction.
The binoculars are made from cast aluminium and bronze and mounted on a steel yolk, we have carefully polished so not to remove the manufacturers details such as the 'Nikko' signature and serial no. 340 which dates them to circa 1930. Also there are various part numbers on the inclined section, the objective barrel and prism housing. There is also Japanese text found not he brass inserts and main plate.
Features specific to this set of binoculars include the quick sight notched blade and loop found on the top of the binoculars, the lens barrels extend to act as sun and rain shields and an internal mechanism to adjust the interpupillary distance.
