Kenneth Whitcomb Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I just bought a pair of binoculars marked: Baldur Military, P 8 X 94, 18106 QM, HMS Dover. I can not find any information on the HMS Dover. I have only used Google. I have found a list of Bitish ships listed for WW1 and WW2 and the Dover is not among them. Can anyone tell me what I have? If this ship actually existed can you guide me to it's history? Thank you for any help you can offer. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 HMS Dover stands for His Majesty's Stores Dover. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Whitcomb Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thank you, Paul. No wonder I could not fine the ship! Do the numbers printed on these binoculars give any clue as to the age of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Ken I would imagine so presumably there are some works on military issue during the Wars but I am afraid that is outside my knowledge, QM obviously stands for Quartermaster but how the number were allocated is another matter.

Paul Thanks again for your information. I was tardy in thanking you because i have been away for awhile. I heard that Rohan has a book about military binoculars but when i looked it up it was about $495. Oh well, the search continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
