Wray Panora Monocular

I rediscovered I had this today! It is Wray of London's copy of the Carl Zeiss Nimron, made in the early 1950s. It has a magnification of 8x, so at 1000 yards away something looks as if it was 108 yards distant.. It is less than 3" long, and weighs less than 100 grams. It fits easily in the pocket. My father used to carry it in his pocket, and used it when checking for trespassers, and people cutting down trees for firewood, which was a common problem in the 1950s on tea estates.
