Original U.S. WWII Navy Mark 21 SARD 7x 50 Binoculars by Square D - Bureau of Aeronautics Issue

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an excellent 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.

The binocs are marked on left side of eye piece:

Overall a fantastic rare Bureau of Aeronautics wide angle 7x50 binocular set from WWII.
