This is a set of Civil War era binoculars made by Colmont of Paris, France. The brass body of the binoculars is no longer leather covered. The leather, if there ever was any, has been missing for a long time. The brass body of the binoculars now has a green tint caused by verdigris. This could be cleaned if the new owner wishes to. The rest of the brass has a nice, untouched dull golden patina. The glass in these old binoculars is perfect! This isn't a crack, spot, smudge or anything on them, clear as the day they were made. The eye cups are both marked COLMONT FABt PARIS. When fully extended the bino's are 7 1/2" long, retracted they measure 6 1/4" long. The binoculars have a maximum width of 4 3/4". The optics are fantastic with this set. The image is very clear and not distorted or cloudy, and focus perfectly when adjusted. The pasteboard case is well worn, but still very sturdy. The black leather wrap on the case is very much intact around the outside of the case, not so much on the bottom. The carrying strap and the top of the case is missing. These would look great in a Civil War Cavalry, Artillery or officer's display.
