exactly what i was thinking. wowChevalier of Paris were known for making Opera Glasses
A quick g00gle search suggests that Chevalier were around in the 19th century in Paris.
If your great grandfather took them from a German soldier, it is quite possible that the German soldier had looted them during the occupation of France.
It,s difficult to tell without knowing measurements, but these look more like opera glasses than field glasses (although there would be nothing to stop a person using them outside!Just figured it out and it has the word "Chevalier" and "Special" on them
Do the eyepiece lenses detach? If so, are there any markings inside?

Hi!Ill see what i can do
I'm looking for information about my grandfather. His name was Sveinung Kaare Helgesen. He was from Bergen in Norway. Born 01.04.1923. The reason I ask for your help is because he served in the British military during World War II. There is little information about him in Norwegian archives. He went to England when he was 17 years old (1940) and fought later in Norway with British soldiers. Is there a possibility that I can find information about him on some UK websites with digitized archive or something like that? He died of war injuries and we know very little about him and what he did.
All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
North Berwick is where his birth and death were registered - the info is not from a WW2 record - it's from Scotlands PeopleWhats the website?
For info only - he was born Berwick 1926 - died there 2005. His mothers maiden name was Saundersdo you mean North Berwick or does it say Berwick?
