“Improved Military Binoculars” Made by Chevalier opticien, Paris
There is a small compass built into the framework – still working as it should.
Everything works as one would hope.
They are manufactured from Brass, steel, leather and (as far as I can establish) bakelite eye pieces.
There are a number of makers marks on the binoculars
In French
on the bakelite eye pieces – CHEVALIER OPTICIEN. PARIS
On the bridge bar – 8 VERRES
on each barrel – visible when extended – JUMELLE MILITAIRE PERFECTIONNEE
compass is marked N NE E SE S SO O NO
This translates to
Chevalier opticians Paris
8 Glasses (lenses)
Improved Military Binoculars
N NE E SE S SW W NW
See photos for all the details
they are worn in some areas. Notably scuffs and discolouration to the leather on one barrel
Some paint has worn off due to age and usage
There is a tiny amount of dust inside but they do unscrew for cleaning
They have the metal clips to attach a strap to.
They come in the original lined Leather case.
The case is complete including strap but in poor condition
