Howdy Daryl,
Thanks for the info. Are your binoculars actually marked " Bu Aero U.S.
Navy F.S.S.C. 88-B-320 Mark 21", in that order?
In the listing of models in this binocular site
http://www.oemspace.co.uk/bios/index.htm
they list the Mark 21's as having been made by Bausch & Lomb and Kollsman
but they make no mention of "F.S.S.C. 88-B-320". In my mind it may denote a
contract number such as "Bu Aero U.S. Navy" would denote "Aeronautical
Bureau of the U.S. Navy".
Any others?
