almost the right binoculars
Look what I found when I visited my parents today.
They belonged to my great grandfather on my mothers side, nobody knows where he got them from.
They are smaller than the screen used, about 4.7 inches wide.
The words "Lumelle Militaire" is engraved on the sides and on the eye pieces it says "Chevalier Opticen Paris"
There is a small compass embedded on the front bridge.
All in all some nice old binoculars.

I wonder how many Indy related items our parents have laying around? Buffelhead found the Rawenbar seltzer bottle in his own garage. Keep your eyes open, this stuff it everywhere hidden in plain sight.
The binoculars from my parents has been standing i a bookcase for years. It was even there before I left home.
The compass still works I'm not sure how accurate it is by now.

Kim

The only identifying marks are the words "COLEMONT Ft" around the top of the eyepiece and "PARIS" around the bottom. There are two six pointed stars with what looks like a small C in the middle seperating the words. The "t" in Ft" is smaller like a superscript.Bufflehead Jones wrote:Oh, yeah. I remember that thread now, Lightning. The matching shots with the screencaps were great. Your's looks screen accurate enough to me. What was the make of them? Colmont? What did you mean by FT Paris? Is that the model or something?
