It is still possible to see the bold Admiralty Arrow on casing, but paint either come off or painted over? They have various light filter’s. These unusually have the ‘metal twist solar sun shield attachments’ to the lenses.

As these were in their day a high quality piece of optical engineering it is understood they would have belonged to a higher ranking Naval Officer.

They are ‘foggy’ on one lens so might need servicing. Still Amazing talking point for all historians but espically those with a maritime interest.

These come original vintage leather neck strap and solid protective leather case.
