About the Item

Fuji Meibo 15 x 80 marine binoculars on an Original Wild GST20 Heerbrug tripod .15 x magnification with 80 mm objective lens. Stamped Fuji Meibo and Serial numbered 2564. These optics have been originally restored in a time-consuming process to reveal a crystal clear Image. Externally, hand stripping the paint inch by inch and polishing to the modern luster resembling a Silver finish. Historically, during the Second World War, Japan emerged as the leading producer of large aperture binoculars among the countries involved in manufacturing such optical instruments. Toko and Nikko, in particular, played pivotal roles in contributing to this prolific production. Each Binocular has a story to tell and we are proud to say that every piece is rigorously obtained from lost battlefields and hand restored at our workshop set in the heart of the British countryside. A stunning centerpiece for any home or office, each binocular has its own unique serial markings, which means no one else in the world except you would own this incredible, one of a kind, collectible piece.
