Enfield Rifle Lattey Optical Sniper Sights
This is a scarce WWI British Enfield rifle Lattey optical sniper sight set. They are marked 'A.G. Parker & Sons, Birmingham'. The lenses are clear. The metal frame has some old minor spots of corrosion. They were almost all private purchase items as the British did not have a true sniper rifle when they entered WWI. The optical sights are described in
Skennerton's, The Enfield Story, on pages 146-147. The British government offically adopted the sight in 1915. The magnification is only about 2x and field of view is somewhat limited, but it was better than nothing. Most of these sights were long lost or broken. Overall, they are in VG condition for their age. Shipping is $10 via USPS priority mail with insurance and confirmed delivery to the lower 48 states. International shipping will have to be calculated before any payment made. Shipping will be to the
USA, UK,
Australia and
Canada. Payment (in US funds) is due within 3 days of auction close via PayPal.
