Newly acquired No. 32 MKII scope

[Peter Laidler]

Camera angle - or with those two turret openings being in-line and absence of the brass inner tube (that holds the OG lens), is that a Mk3?

And that sharp step at the start of the ocular bell: only seen on some Mk3s wasn't it?

The worst part is whoever dug it up seems to have knocked off the brass "turret block", but was it to "reuse" it or to sell for scrap!? In fact it almost looks like they broke the tube at that point to get it off and just set the front piece there for the photo!

Where was it found Warren? If it is a Mk3 and it was found in NW Europe that would be very interesting as I don't believe there is a single photo of the Mk3 scope in use there during WWII.
