Naval binoculars

[Kenneth Whitcomb]

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

HMS Dover stands for His Majesty's Stores Dover.

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?

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.

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.
