hi all am new to this forum... i am trying to find out about a pair of my grand fathers binoculars from WW2.....i have got photos of him wearing them whilst he was an officer in the royal navy.
They are a pair of NIKKO 10X70, with 7 degree, these are in original carry case dated 1945.
Have tried to trace serial number but seem to hit a brick wall at every hurdle, would be nice to know where exactly they came from and value for insurance reasons, people have said anything from £50 to £1000 possibly more... would appreciate your help if possible many thanks, jim.
Well Japan without a question, and sound very interesting. Could you post a picture?
