Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good condition pair of WWII U.S. Navy Mark 21 SARD 7x 50 Binoculars by Square D, specifically designed for the Bureau of Aeronautics. When the mission was to observe movement across a wide expanse of sky or water, then a binocular with a much wider field of view was justified. Several wide angle binocular models were commissioned specifically for the Bureau of Aeronautics, whose vital work included reconnaissance (searching for U-Boats and other enemy ships), as well as search and rescue; these bear the designation BU. AERO as found on this example. They measure approximately 7" x 8" x 3", and are of very robust construction
The binoculars are marked to the left side of eye piece:

The optics are clear and excellent, all aspects of the binoculars function, and they are in overall excellent condition. The leather neck strap is present, something that is almost always missing on these.
These come with their original carry case, which still locks securely. The shoulder strap is not present. These are near mint and as good as they get! There is still an instruction label on the interior of the lid.
Overall a fantastic rare Bureau of Aeronautics wide angle 7x50 binocular set from WWII. Ready to display or use!
