A pair of 15 x 80 naval bridge "big eye" binoculars by Nikon, Japan, circa 1940s
A rare set of Japanese naval bridge “big eye“ binoculars by Nikon manufactured during WWII by Tokyo Kogaku Kikai (Tokyo Optical Company). They have been expertly cleaned and hand polished. With a magnification of 15 (magnification) x 80 (aperture), and mounted on a wood and steel telescopic stand, these exceptional binoculars display entirely original optics in a distinctly Japanese straight-body instrument. Undeniably a true piece of artwork created from steel, brass, and aluminium, these binoculars offer astounding visual clarity. They have a sleeker, more modern look than some of the other binoculars of that period and are guaranteed to look incredible in any room or balcony or terrace.
Condition: Fine overall condition. Carefully serviced and in full working order. Optics are in good condition with separate focusing to each eye piece
Dimensions head: 23cm high, 21cm wide, 49cm deep
