    I read somewhere on this site it was the air force color applied is this true all replies are appreciated. TIA
    RAF Regiment perhaps, a la Capt. C. Shore?

    Peacetime military amusements: "if in doubt paint it"?

    Speaking of these telescopes, I picked up a few NOS lenses from an estate full of surplus oddments recently. There are two lenses 2.682"/68.3mm dia. that are a close fit to each other on one surface. With my Geneva Lens Measure from the same estate, they measure +0.5 & -2.33(approx) and +2.0 & +0.75. Assembled thickness of the doublet is 0.52"

    I suppose these could be from a TSR/Sig/GS type or even a REL Telescope, Observing, Snipers, but I don't feel like taking mine apart to find out!

    There's a cemented doublet as well, 1.214"/30.86mm dia., 0.553"/14.07mm thick, +6.0 on one side and +2.5 on the other.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
