Original Item: Only One Available. This is a nice set of WWII issue Japanese army officer binoculars in original pressed paper carry case, offered in very good condition. The binoculars are fully functional, with each side being having an independent focus diopter control. Optics are mostly clear, and able to focus accurately, though the interior mirrors and optics could definitely use a cleaning.

The binoculars are marked YASHIMA / TOKYO on the back of the left barrel, a known manufacture of binoculars during the WWII Period. Post war, this company would return as a camera manufacturer, and eventually became Yashica. The right barrel is marked with the specifications of the binoculars: 7X 50 mm / 7.1°.

The overall condition is very good, with the plastic covering for the barrels retained well, and light wear overall, with great paint. There is some wear through on the fittings, but that is expected for an item of this age which was used during WWII. There is a nice period leather neck strap installed, which is in very good condition as well.

The case looks to be of hard pressed paper construction with a faux leather cover. Some components are leather reinforced, such as the hinge. The interior is lined with leather, and does not really have any supports for the binoculars. The inside of the top cover has two cotton supports for sun filters, and one sun filter is still included, with one missing. The closure system is broken off, but the leather shoulder strap is still in good condition, with a great look.

Approximate dimensions are 8 1/2" x 8" x 4". Overall a great addition to any WWII Pacific Collection.
