I am forming an e-mail list on the subject of binoculars ...

For sale: Japanese ‘trench binocular’ with Waffen acceptance stamp. Binocular is dirty & worn, but stamp is clear, black and fresh looking. Extensive research shows that this is the only such Japanese glass known with Waffen acceptance stamp. A real piece of history. Call the Mark of the Con Antique Mall, 444-6666. Civil War field glasses. ................
