This is a pair of binoculars for non-commissioned officers of the Japanese Imperial Army, Type 93. Unlike the 8x binoculars for officers, these are 4x magnification, small, lightweight, and were popular for their ease of use. The case is made of canvas fabric with a waterproof coating in a military color. Originally, binoculars for non-commissioned officers were said to be government-issued, but this item has a marking of "〇私" (private) on the body, suggesting it was purchased privately. Therefore, there are no inspection stamps on the case or carrying strap. The case shows signs of aging, but the paint is well-preserved and in good condition. The carrying strap has some stains, but there is no rust on the metal fittings. The body of the binoculars has some wear and tear due to age, but the lenses are free of scratches and there is little clouding. There is a slight looseness in the focus dial, but otherwise, they are in good condition. Although they were for non-commissioned officers, only squad leaders and platoon adjutants were able to possess them, and those who could purchase them privately were likely veteran chief petty officers. We ask that you understand the above explanation and consider the value of this item before making a purchase.
