    Royal Army Binoculars

    Good evening Gents !..i have at last tracked down a nice pair of WW2 Italian binoculars dated 1939 made by San Georgio !..they are in great condition with Range distance Graticules when you look through them !..the neck strap & eye lens cover are good but the case is sadly missing !.
    Does any one have a case for these binos so i can see what to look for ??..or even better spare !?...Semovente...

    Dear Semovente, nice optic normally the case 6x30 are common was in brown
    leather with an large pass back side for the attachmet at the leather belt.
    Exist italian military optics costruited by San Giorgio and F.lli Koristka factory
    are rare to find in particular Koristka was costruited for Regia Marina.

    "six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".

      Thank you Raffaello ...
      Yes i know what you mean about hard to find !..it seems that Italy didnt have too many manufacters of binoculars & any war time military sets ive seen for sale are snapped up quick or go for silly money !!...so despite the case missing iam well pleased to get these & with the range graticules which is a nice extra !..
