The NAVY issue stamp, and quaility optics.

The Navy had good binoculars.


They still do. My Navy MK43's made in 1942 still are super clear,
bright and have never had a drop of moisture inside them, if the optics
are coated, they still have 100% of the coating intact. JFK treasured
the pair he had on his PT boat.
