Interesting Great War Era Marksmanship Aid.
This item recently turned up when a good friend purchased a WW1 British scope. I gather the item shown here came with it. It certainly seems to fit snugly on an Aldis & looks to be designed to hold a coloured filter; perhaps for use when there was snow/ice on the ground &/or a lot of reflected light? I must say I have never seen any other examples of filter holders for WW1 British scopes, & this one is very well made out of brass, not, in my view anyway, the work of a garage enthusiast. Of course it may not have been specifically made to fit the Aldis, but it certainly DOES fit it perfectly. Unfortunately there are no markings on it to give us a further clue about who when & where it was made. I hope people find it interesting, & maybe some of you chaps out there can shed some more light on it.
