A Japanese set of Nikon 20x120 (20x3°) No.4120028. The Japanese made beautiful binoculars and this pair is one of them. The perfect mixture of brass and cast aluminium.

The customer choose to pair it with a Zeiss 'Cone foot' tripod as the tripod has a beautiful grain in the wood and also the perfect brass and aluminium combination.

Lovely clear optics. 👌

Now as someone who collects little bits German militaria this set is one that I didnt want to send back to the customer.

Ive been back in the game for 4 years now, dad has been doing it for 100+ 🤣 and we have only ever had 2 sets of German 10x80 anti-aircraft binoculars come to us with a sw****ka or Reichsadler is really something.

I hope the customer enjoys them as much as I did doing them up

German flakglas 10x80 anti-aircraft binoculars.

We are not done here. This is just a sneak peak of what makes up a set of German ww2 10x80 anti-aircraft flak binoculars.

Everything is stripped and taken apart. Everything is inspected for wear or damage.

If the customer requires them to be polished then every visiable screw will be polsihed. If they want the left with the orignal years age, then we will just do our service for them.

All internal screws are cleaned with all dirt, grime and old lubricant removed from the threads.

Optics, eye glasses, prisms are all cleaned, and snowflakes will be removed and repaired.

We aim to ensure the very best quality picture is once again achieved.

Front shades and cradles are customer made depending on what the customer requires.

Tripod can be supplied in any colour, metal or wood to match your office or home decor

Diffrent sizes of floor protectors pucks can be made in brass or ally and with diffrent footings.

We are very proud to say we do not outsource anything we do here. Everything on thease binoculars from woodwork, metal work, turning, designing the cradle and spreaders is done by us. Inhouse.

This set will still have another 2 days spent on them getting them perfect for the customer and to be used again for another 80 years.

We really take pride in the work we restore so you can enjoy the outcome.

I get proper excited over little things like this, a German set of 10x80 anti-aircraft flak binoculars from World War Two. This set is heavily anodised and while I was removing the layers and years of paint and age, this little beauty popped up. The Reichsadler (German eagle clutching the sw****ka) stamped into the side with WaA326 under it.

Just makes me think that someone 80 odd years ago had stamped this into the block, was it a German soldier or a POW Worker. Who knows but I enjoy the history behind it.

A very lucky customer to have a nice little bit of history!

Add to your collection of aviation and military history.

This is why I love my job so much!
To most this is just a small piece of scrap metal, but it has a story behind it and a bit of history that I have turned into something for someone.

Here we have two macine gun barrels from the Vietnam War. We belive the guns to be from the M60 and M16 found in the Mekong River.

HISTORY
The Vietnam War (1955–1975) was a prolonged Cold War-era proxy conflict between communist North Vietnam (supported by the Soviet Union and China) and US-backed South Vietnam. The US intervened to stop the spread of communism
deploying over 500,000 troops at its peak before withdrawing in 1973

Lancaster Bomber X80 PB512

Lancaster Bomber X80 PB512 Avro Lancaster Mk III serial number PB512 was an RAF heavy bomber lost during a tragic training exercise on Saturday, September 23, 1944. While performing a diving turn at 8,000 feet, the aircraft lost control and crashed four miles east of North Weald aerodrome at 11:32.
The incident occurred during a fighter affiliation exercise. Tragically, all members of the aircrew perished in the crash. Today, the crew members are buried in various cemeteries across the United Kingdom, with four resting at Brookwood Military Cemetery.
