This is an excellent condition pair of WWII U.S. Navy Mark 29 Mod.0 6x30 Binoculars made in 1942 by Universal Camera Corporation in New York specifically designed for the Bureau of Ships. U.S. Navy organizations that were largely responsible for procurement in 1940 were designated Bureaus, each commanded by a Rear Admiral. These bureaus included: Aeronautics, Engineering, Navigation, Ordnance, and Ships. So the fleet of surface combat and support ships, of submarines, of Coast Guard and of Maritime Service vessels, along with most of their instruments and consumables too, were largely specified by and contracted for by the Bureau of Ships (BUSHIPS, or sometimes designated BU.SHIPS). These have clear optics and original strap, one end stapled together at some point.
