Original item: Only One Available. This is a very nice set of 1916 French 8 x 24 trench binoculars, made in Puteaux by the Société de Recherches et de Perfectionnements Industriels (Society of Industrial Research and Development or SRPI). MG means Ministère de la Guerre (Ministry of War).
Nicely marked on the right side with the magnification information:
8 X 24
DECIGRADES
The left side has the manufacturer markings and serial number:
M.G.
S.R.P.I.
No. 22065
Both sides of the Binoculars have clear optics, with both eye cups present and the focus diopters moving freely. The range reticle in the right side is clear. The eye width adjustment is functional, and it still has a complete and intact handle, though the button to lock it in place is quite stiff, and has to be pushed in manually. The included leather neck strap is intact, and works well, with no serious leather issues.
A very nice set at a nice affordable price. Ready to display or use!
