WWII Nikko / Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha ( 日本光学工業株式会社 Japanese Army NCO/ Non Commissioned officers 93 式双眼鏡 / 93-Shiki sōgankyō) Type 93 4x10 military binoculars

In the same way that the German military developed the 08 fernglas in WWI as durable and economic and simple to make Galilean/ non prismatic binoculars to be issued to non commissioned officers in WWI, the Japanese also developed the Type 93 (93 式双眼鏡 / 93-Shiki sōgankyō) Galilean/ non prismatic binoculars to be issued to non commissioned officers during their 1930’s Manchurian conflict. It has a right side ranging grid. As with the Nikko binoculars above, and by the distinct logo outline, my example with it’s canvas carry case was made by Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha( 日本光学工業株式会社 " Japan Optical Industries Co., Ltd."), and is branded as Nikko binoculars. (the company is today known as Nikon). The serial number has been scratched out.

The French Societ é Generale d’Optique, maker of Huet optical goods, made my DF 8x30 Artillery binoculars serial number 5854 for the Kriegsmarine/ German Navy.

Huet production of their existing French military optics designs such were continued for the German military during the German occupation of France June 1940-1944, with some German markings, as with mine. Captured existing Huet optics were also used by the German military, but these usually only had their original French markings. My occupation binoculars have a right ocular graticule/ grid.

The French Societ é Generale d’Optique, maker of Huet optical goods, made my 7x50 501 Dienstglas marked binoculars with right ocular graticule/ ranging grid for the German Army during the German occupation of France.

I do not see any serial number (unless it is the 501 marking), and based on the common late war tan paint (nothing to do with DAK despite nonsense internet claims of tan binoculars being DAK). I believe these to be late war production.

These have sliding objective sun guards

WWII Japanese Army 6 x 9.3 ° military binoculars, with graticule, unidentified maker

People seeking WWII Japanese military binoculars should be CAREFUL . MANY binoculars claimed as being WWII and Japanese Military binoculars on places like Ebay ® are neither. Binoculars marked “Japan”, “made in Japan”, “occupied Japan” etc. are for export and are NOT WWII because Japan did not export binoculars during WWII. A few logotypes of Japanese companies exporting binoculars prior to WWII such as Nippon Kogaku using Nikko, Toko, and Takatisho continued to use these established logos with non Japanese alphabet for WWII military opticsmarkings. But WWII model names will usually be in Japanese characters, because most Japanese people prior to and during WWII could not read non Japanese alphabets! Markings other than those few logos using non Japanese alphabet usually suggest NOT WII, but with a few exceptions, partly because export model names were not so easy to put in Japanese characters. Arabic numerals were commonly used interchangeably with Japanese character numbers on military equipment, perhaps partly because the spoken sound of the Japanese character 4 sounds like shi (death) and the spoken sound of the character 8 sounds like ku (suffering, agony), both considered unlucky. Canvas binoculars cases are usually WWII military, but were also produced for some early post war occupied Japan binoculars. A reticule/ range grid indicates military use.

I am unable to identify the Japanese markings above the 7x50 mm markings or on the carry case (translation help please to miniature.binoculars@ gmail.com.). Hand held Takatiho military binoculars do not seem common, and the 3063 serial number also seems quite low.

My 1944 US Navy Mark 30 Mod. 0 binoculars were made by Spencer Lens Co. of Buffalo NY for the US Navy, and were subsequently obtained and owned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Equipment like binoculars that were surplus to US military needs were made available to U.S. government agencies by the US Surplus Property Act of 1944 Statute 756,50a/US Code, and so were widely used by any agency that could use them.

Text Box: My U.S. Military M9 6x30 binoculars with graticule ranging grid were produced in 1942 by the Universal Camera Corp. of New York City, by the authority of the W.P.B., as marked on the binoculars. The W.P.B./ War Production Board was a U.S. govt. agency that existed from January 1942 to 1945, and supervised conversion of U.S. industry to war production, including the conversion of Universal Camera corporation over to wartime binoculars production. After the war ended, US government agencies had priority in obtaining US surplus military goods, including binoculars for their agency use, and these binoculars went to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division (ATTD) of the Internal Revenue arm of the US Treasury, as indicated by the tag inside assigning them to TTD criminal investigator Bill Nickell of the IRS Portland Oregon office. (the ATTD was transitioned into the ATF/ Alcohol Tax Firearms Division in 1968, so the tag predates 1968).

As WWII ended, the US had huge quantities of military surplus to deal with. A neighbor who served in a US WWII Army motor pool in the pacific told me they were ordered to install all their vehicle spare parts onto vehicles. And then all these vehicles were promptly placed on barges and taken past the reef and dumped in the sea. Instant solution to pesky surplus. (...plus the US govt. actually had agreements with domestic automotive makers, particularly Ford, not to return surplus military vehicles into the US market). The US Surplus Property Act of 1944 Statute 756,50a/US Code gave federal agencies priority to receive any war surplus goods they could reutilize. So, though not commonly seen, it explains the FBI 22 marking and the two federal agency asset labels on my WWII era Navy Mark 21 SARD Bu. Aero binoculars, which were built by the Kollsman Instrument Co. div. of the Square D Co. under their June 1942-Feb 1943 contract 88-B-320 from the newly created U.S. Navy purchasing agency BU. Aero/ Bureau of Aeronautics. The newer bar code asset tag appears to be in code 39 format, which the DOD/ Department of Defense adopted in 1981 and other federal agencies adopted soon after.

the FBI 22 marking is presumably a field office item log number for non assigned equipment: ie: the property log that Agent A logged out binoculars# 22 for an assignment on Jan 5,1965 and then returned them Jan 20,1965.

U.S. secret Service Mirador Limer 11x80 binoculars.

The U.S. Secret service uses large high power binoculars to observe crowds, buildings, and surroundings as an integral part of their protection and counter sniper activities. Like all their equipment, their optical equipment gets periodically replaced or changed or upgraded. When a company that specialized in purchasing surplus government equipment at auction, and then reselling it, obtained a few of these US Secret Service property marked Mirador Limer 11x80 binoculars some years back, I purchased two. Though my interest was probably largely about the secret service label on the binoculars, I do also like these. Even with 1,400 or so binocular to choose from, these are one of a handful I regularly grab to in order to use. Like other specialty items, these are only suited for special circumstances and conditions. Mirador is indicated as a registered trademark, but does not seem to show up as a US trademark in TESS, but does show up as Canadian trademark TMA294949 for binoculars from 1984-2000. Mirador binoculars were associated with the Mirador Optical Corporation of Marina Del Rey California in many US binoculars trade listings, and Mirador Optical Corporation was a registered California Corp 9/12/1982 until dissolved 10/28/2010. The U.S. Mirador entity is presumed to be an importer/ distributor, as Mirador also had a sales presence in Europe.

Early 1930’s Huet Aerix 16x50 MG (Minist é re de Guerre) French Army military binoculars with EXTREMELY LOW production serial number of # 16.

My Huet Aerix 16x50 binoculars were made by the Societ é Generale d’Optique, as marked in the case, and both binoculars and case are “ MG ” military property marked (Minist é re de Guerre). They have an unusually low serial number of 16, of a model of military binoculars not frequently encountered, and probably were not produced in particularly large quantity. The low serial number (217) of another known example held by the on line binoculars museum fernglasmuseum.at is also suggestive of low overall production quantities. (speculative). These binoculars feature an unusual elaborate telescoping friction rod bridge system, to fix the inter ocular distance in a more positive way than pivot friction (which works less well on big and heavy binoculars like these), while allowing quicker adjustment than using a threaded rod and lock wheel. This is presumably partly because with the high 16x power eye placement has to be unusually exact for a clear view by both eyes, and a person would not want to fiddle to get it set with every use. But it is also probably related to indexing the profiled eyeshades. The case is wide enough to not have to fold the binoculars to fit.

No graticule/ range grid and so marked.

Ca. 1907 Carl Zeiss Feldstecher 8 Facht sold by E. B. Mayrowitz of New York and property marked to the State Of New Jersey (USA) Dept of Conservation and Development.

My Carl Zeiss Jena Feldstecher 8 FACHT (8 power) binoculars serial no.

59929 were produced in Germany around 1907. They are stamped No. 1 which is probably a property number (binocular #1), and are also marked as sold by Mayrowitz of NYC, and are engraved as property of the State of New Jersey Dept of Conservation and Development, which was formed in 1915, probably transferred from the precedent organization. This organization later transformed into the current New Jersey DEP/ Dept of Environmental Protection.
