Indy's Last Crusade binocs - Here's what I believe they were

[PropReplicator]

Here's my pair of "Colmont, Ft. - Paris" field glasses, which I think are spot-on to the ones used in The Last Crusade. I thought there was a model name or number on these, but I can't seem to find it now.

To see the pics, go to this link and look at the last three pics at the bottom of the album page:

There are several variations of these binocs that were produced, so not all of them are correct. These have leather on the middle section and on the bottom part's rings that can extended out further to reduce glare. AS you can see in the pics, the leather on mine is in pretty rough shape. I think some pecards might help it out, though.

On the eyecups, there are two little "Star of David"-looking emblems that each have a "C" in the middle.

Notice the shape of the middle section (the part you grab when you hold them). These are the only style binocs that I have found that match up to the shape of the screen-used binocs. Not to steep of a taper, and not too untapered. Also, there is a point just before where the middle section ends where there is a change in taper that matches up to the change in taper on the scree-used binocs.

Well, what do you guys think? Here are some screen grabs which I lifted from the other thread.

I think you got it. Good job.

Thanks.

Watch for them on E-bay. I found this pair by searching for "Colmont" and "field glasses".

These were either WWI or WWII issue, I can't remember which.

Good luck, guys!

They definitely look dead on to me.

Could you look through your past auctions and find that one if it hasn't been too old? Ebay stores them for a while. Then you could see if they were WWI or WWII.

Great find!

I didnt have much luck on ebay look for field glasses, maybe try putting in binoculars in the search?

I would, but I got them over a year ago, maybe even close to two years.
