Bob B Posted May 12 Share #5 Posted May 12 I'm not an expert on Civil War binoculars but remember reading that Civil War era binoculars had a straight bridge between the eyepieces (as yours does) and later binoculars had a curved or arched bridge. Not sure at what point the change happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
