US Navy Submarine Bausch and Lomb binoculars
Aviation and Binoculars presents a rare set of WW2 U.S. Navy Bu. Ships Mark 91 6×50 Submarine Torpedo Targeting Binoculars, made by Bausch & Lomb Optical Co., They were mounted on the Submarine conning tower and remained on the bridge when the submarine dived. To combat the effects of sea water and the pressures the body of these binoculars was made of solid stainless steel – this was a very scarce commodity and very expensive during the war and its use underscores the quality of the build.
They were gas filled and are auto focus weighing in at 40lbs. They have spring loaded brass lens covers with additional light filter for daylight viewing in haze or bright sunlight.
Lenses are in excellent condition. They have been professionally polished and fully serviced. These are some of the most unique binoculars that we have owned, they are an incredible good looking fully working set of historic binoculars.
They have their original US Navy ID tag. They have been mounted on a bespoke cradle with a stunning pivot point designed by our engineers from brass. The wooden stand is fully adjustable and showcases the binoculars for maximum impact.
Here at Aviation and Binoculars we pride ourselves on having one of the widest selection of historically interesting artefacts available to purchase. Check out the full range of World War 2 military binoculars including the Zeiss Kriegsmarine UBoat binoculars and Japanese Fuji Meibo 25×150 big eye binoculars.
