Telescope, Observing, Sniper's C MK 1

[Nigel]

Not something you see every day, especially not three of them. Rescued from a skip in the UK - scope no.'s 165-C, 230-C & 439-C and all made in 1944 - all in immaculate condition. When rescued the cases and stands were left in the skip - not by me I hasten to add! Much easier to use than the Sct Rgt Scopes and at 25 magnification better at 1,000 yards. The Stand Instrument C No.47 Mk1 - is numbered 58-C, made in 1945 and is an engineering masterpiece in the way it folds up and operates. The case to hold the scope is also made in 1945 and if you look carefully is numbered 439-C which matches one of the scopes. I very much doubt if they were meant to be matched - my thanks to a forum member for supplying me the case - he shall remain un-named to protect his privacy but I would be delighted if he sees this post and makes his claim to fame. All I need now is two more cases and stands!
