The case is original, but definitely has condition issues. The front closure strap is very worn and delicate, and the leather \"hinge\" on the back has had the stitching pulled out completely with a new piece of leather riveted on to reinforce it. The strap is completely absent as well as the handle. It appears there are some patches on the interior of the case as well. This is definitely a case that saw a lot of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all a great example of U.S. WWII Binoculars, complete with eye cups and sun filters in its original case.
