Rare* WWII Japanese Army NCO Issue 6X24 Binoculars by Manufacturer KAIKOSHA K.T. Sn - 22295
These are WWII issue Japanese army NCO binoculars with original leather carry strap. These bear the KAIKOSHA K.T. for Kaikosha, an organisation in Kudan, Tokyo.

The organisation's name means “let’s go together” or “we shall fight this war side by side,” and derives from a line in an old Chinese poem recorded in the Book of Odes. This example is stamped with the serial number; 30479. The binoculars are fully functional, with each side having an independent focus control. The optics are clear and focus accurately. Areas of the black paint are exposed through age related wear, see images for condition. The price for these scarce binoculars includes UK delivery. Sn 22295

The pistol measures 7 inches overall with 2 x 4 ½ inch barrels.

Jim Greathead of Clanville, England, made, U.S. Under hammer Percussion Boot Pistol as used by Gamblers in the mid 19th Centuary. (1 of 750 made) **UK 2018 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** Sn - 22786
The American under hammer percussion boot pistol was a favourite of American Gamblers during the mid 19th Century. These were easily concealable, and the lack of a hammer on the top of the pistol, combined with the curved bag grip, made them very easy to remove without snagging on anything. This is a very unusual hand made under hammer single shot .400 inch caliber muzzle loading black powder pistol made by Jim Greathead who was renowned for his hand made under hammer muzzle loading pistols which were often used in modern pistol competition. Jim made around 750 handmade pistols during the 1990's and being hand made each one is a little bit different. This pistol is of a very simple design, measuring 13 inches in length with a 7 inch part octagonal cannon style barrel with a .400 inch bore. The pistol is fitted with a simple fore and rear sight. The lock design is quite simple, with just a spring loaded hammer and trigger, which serve as the tumbler and sear as well. There is no provision for a half-cock or any type of safety, just a notch on the hammer where the trigger locks into the pistol. The pistol is quite heavy and has a pair of wooden grips held with a single screw. The barrel and breech retain much of their original blued finish. The pistol cocks, deactivated in 2018. The price for this unusual pistol includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. Sn 22786

The wounds to crew members concerned the British war office who then developed a protective mask to reduce the wounds. Officially approved on 9 July 1917, the face mask design was given the classic British War Office nomenclature description of ‘Goggles, Steel, with chain mail for use in Tanks’. The initial order was for 7,000, with sources suggesting around 5,000 issued to tank crews for the battle at Cambrai. This excellent original face mask is the standard British issue Tank Face Mask.

The Tank Destruction Badge showcases a stamped nonmagnetic metal Panzer IV tank, affixed to a bullion silver band. Along the top and bottom edges, there black stripes. The badge was initially pinned to the sleeve and then securely fastened by sewing. There were two main versions of the Tank Destruction Badge: a silver grade and a bronze grade.
