The Japanese soldier of WW2 was a resourceful, resilient fighter, loyal to his Emperor and willing to undergo tremendous hardships. He would, as John Wayne once said, "just as soon die as stick a nickel in a jukebox". Imperial Japanese NCOs were issued the well made Type 93 4x10 binoculars for surveying troop movements and ideal ground in the field, and they carried them in the rubberized canvas case, specially designed for use in tropical climates. This pair of Imperial Japanese Army WW2 NCO Nikko (Nikon) Type 93 4x10 Binoculars are in Good Condition, with a lengthwise crack to the right ocular lens, some dark spotting to the lenses, heavy chipping to the textured black grip material, some drying, stiffening, and scattered surface cracking to the leather neck strap, and with some overall age wear evident. Otherwise, the binoculars are in fine shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, they boast a fairly clear view, with the right lens featuring a range finding reticle with 40 at the ends of the X axis and 20 at the ends of the Y axis, sport a good sized remnant of the original textured black gripping surface, and are marked with the classic maker’s logo of the famous Nikko (later renamed Nikon, one of the finest names in binoculars and cameras) at the top central join, along with “4 X 10”, “-60 - -70”, and the serial number, “No 95762”. They feature the original brown leather neck strap, and are complete with the original Imperial Japanese WW2 Type 93 Rubberized Canvas Carry Case in Good Condition, with the leather front closure tab having torn away from the top flap, as is commonly encountered on these pouches, moderate surface cracking and rough tearing to the bottom end of that front closure tab, some flaking to the green finish around the exterior body, heavy whitish patina to the metal rivets around the interior body, some scattered brownish soiling to the shoulder strap, and with some overall age wear evident. Otherwise, the case is in fine shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts the original brass closure stud at the lower front body, sports the original khaki web shoulder strap with a Kanji marked sewn tag and a brown painted metal "roller" buckle, and exhibits the original, integral belt loop at back. The set is a fine example of rare, original Imperial Japanese Army WW2 NCO Nikko (Nikon) Type 93 4x10 Binoculars.
