Description

This is the first time we have had this particular example, a rare combination.

We would be pleased to find a pair of triple lens binoculars but to find a pair with an integral compass is certainly special.

The key to the right hand-side allows the lenses to be changed from "Field" to "Marine" to "Theatre".

They have been painstakingly re-polished to gleam, restoring them to their former glory, a winning combination with the dark coloured leather. They come complete with their original leather case (as found with wear).

A fabulous find in excellent condition (minor wear commensurate with age). The case measures 5 1/2" x 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" tall. Dating to c.1910/1920.
