Indy's Binoculars?

While I was in Burton today, I had a chance to visit the market and look at an antique stall. I picked up some late 40s - early 50s binoculars that seemed very Indy to me. The guy I bought them off thinks they may have been former military that ended up becoming civilian use.

Thats the case and the binoculars together
yeah, the case could use some restoration work
Though the binoculars aren't in that bad a condition themselves
sadly, the shoulder strap disintigrated on me

Originally, the seller wanted £25 for them, but when I saw the condition of the case and that it needed extensive repair work and restoration, I managed to haggle him down to £10.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to etsy, but I'm sure a moderator will let me know. If I wasn't planning on buying leather crafting tools with a recent paycheck, I'd buy them. I hope someone from here buys 'em, cause they look gorgeous.
If anyone is looking for Indy's binocs, I found a pair HERE that looked... Pretty much exactly the same? Not exactly CHEAP, but... Pretty awesome nonetheless.
