CIVIL WAR ERA BINOCULARS – ATTRACTIVE PAIR:
A full sized set of binoculars, intended for field use,
in excellent condition with the full leather coverings
intact, this is one of the nicest sets of Civil War era
binoculars that I’ve come across in some time.
This set, marked “LaMaire Paris” on the eye pieces, have
the full leather coverings on the two barrels and the
sun shades with no splits or damage and only minor
surface wear. The original black lacquer finish on the
brass fittings and eyepieces is fully intact with only
the slightest wear on the exposed edges. The adjustment
and focusing knob is fully functional, and the lenses
are in excellent condition with no cracks or chips and
no occlusions. Both sliding sun shades are present and
fully functional.
Not the light weight, opera style normally encountered,
but a set of true field grade binoculars that will be a
nice addition to your Civil War or Indian War Officer’s
display.
