Japanese Imperial Navy Binocular

While I have been searching Army Model 89 Binocular, instead of the item I found a Navy five power binocular in good condition with a cavas Kashu-Urushi penetrated make case from my colleciton.

I wrote this article Yohoo Japan Blog "japanseweapons" then I had a comment from a guy who
is very keen to research about Japanese Optical Weapons and is very knowledgable.

He wrote this is a rare model made by "Toshiba".
Toshiba(Tokyo Shibaura Denki) had another brand "Mazda" and used be a big optical subjects
supplyer to both Army and Navy.

About ten major commercial companys used make optical weapons.
Most of them are big and sucessful company's for hi-tec products nowadays.

Visit Yohoo Japan "japanseweapons".
It has a lot of information about Japanese weapons old to new until 1945
with some English articles and photos.
