WW2 British, Number 2 Prismatic 6x30 Binoculars, 1942.

was £75 now £65

The Number 2 Prismatic Binoculars were the standard general service optics used by British and Commonwealth forces during WW2. There were three patterns, of which only the second and third had graticule markings in the focal plane, the third pattern had the opportunity to fill the body with nitrogen gas to prevent misting.
Neck staps came in leather or canvas, of which the canvas was 32 inches in length, between the adjustment buckles and had a width of 5/16”. The adjusting ends had an additional 5 inched that formed the hanging loop when affixed to the lugs of the binoculars.
This example is the second pattern, with the canvas neck strap and webbing carry case and webbing shoulder strap, both dated to 1944.
These optics come in used and ‘salty’ condition, ‘been there, seen it and done it’ and would suit the modern reenactor who wants to portray the British office during battle/patrol conditions.
Priced to reflect condition, however, with a little time and patience they will clean to display condition.
