PERIOD MARCHAND PARIS MILITARY FIELD GLASSES. VERY NICE CONDITION. MAY BE POST CIVIL WAR ERA.VERY SIMILAR TO EXAMPLES SEEN IN CIVIL WAR REFERENCE BOOKS. EXCELLENT FOR CIVIL WAR REENACTMENTS. OPTICS ARE VERY CLEAR, NO DISCERNABLE SCRATCHES. BRASS CONSTRUCTION,BLACK LEATHER WRAPPED. LEATHER IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION, STITCHING APPEARS TIGHT. SMALL AMOUNT OF LEATHER SHRINKAGE NEAR BOTTOM PLATE. T IS A DENT ON ONE OF THE EYEPIECES (VISIBLE IN PHOTO). INSIDE THE EYEPIECE CUPS ARE MARKED: (MARCHAND PARIS FAB). ON THE BARREL OF ONE OF THE EYEPIECES IS MARKED: (SIGNAL SERVICE), ON THE OTHER (DAY & NIGHT).THE KNURLED KNOB APPEARS TO BE MADE OF WOOD AND APPEARS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH ONLY ONE SMALL CHIP. THE BRASS IS NICKEL PLATED BELOW THE EYE PIECES, APPEARS TO BE INTACT WITH NO BRASS SHOWING THROUGH AND WOULD POLISH NICELY WITH LITTLE EFFORT IF SO DESIRED. OVERALL I BELIEVE WITH A LITTLE CLEANING THESE FIELD GLASSES WOULD PRESENT VERY NICELY FOR DISPLAY OR FOR REENACTMENT. THE COMPACT SIZE (IN CLOSED POSITION) IS APPROX. 6" TALL, 5" AT THE WIDEST POINT, AND ABOUT 2 1/2" DIA INCLUDING LENS COVER. LET'S SEE IF YOU GET A CLEAR VIEW OF ROUNDTOP THROUGH THEM?U.S. BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE...........NO INTERNATIONAL BIDS. PENNSYLVANIA BUYERS MUST ADD 6 PERCENT STATE SALES TAX OR PROVIDE THIS SELLER WITH A SIGNED PA. TAX EXEMPTION FORM BEFORE ITEM read more
