Bell & Howell M19 Military Binoculars w/Original Carrying Case

The M19 is a 7X50 binocular equipped with the horizontal and vertical mil scale reticle in the left telescope for range finding and fire control. These binoculars are in very good condition, and all movements are smooth. The plastic carrying case is in very good condition. The straps on the case and binoculars are in great shape, and snap closures work fine.

BACKGROUND: The M19 is an evolution of the T14E1 binocular that was originally developed at Frankford Arsenal beginning in 1956, through the 1960s. It was adopted with a few changes and manufactured as the M19, beginning in 1975, as a replacement for the M17. Bell & Howell in Chicago was selected as the contractor for production of the M19.
