----I inherited a huge, very cool (over 2 feet long) pair of binoculars off a WW2 Japanese battleship. They came with tripod, fitted boxes and spare parts. Its fairly easy to see that they have a lot of German influence built in. An uncle worked directly under MacArthur in Japan while Mac was Governor General and shipped these home. There was never an explanation given as to how he acquired them, and I never asked. Ill probably end up giving them to the World War II Museum in New Orleans when Im so old I cant keep them.......Bill S
