    WWII Navy US/C-3 Infrared Signaling Telescope

    Hi all,

    I have a WWII Navy US/C-3 Infrared Signaling Scope model MI-2558-A that my father gave me a few years ago. It is just sitting in my closet gathering dust so I figure I should sell it to a collector that can appreciate it.

    I found this info about these from snyderstreasures.com;

    The US/C-3 Infrared Signaling Telescope was designed for secure night-time signaling with shipboard infrared-filtered yardarm blinkers US/X-12 or signal searchlights and various beacons. The most common use was as an infrared beacon placed on a landing (or pick-up) site by an Underwater Demolition Team frogman (UDT) team to guide pick-up vessels to the site."
    It is in nice shape, has no dents but it does have a couple small scratches in the paint. It is powered by 2 D cell batteries and IT WORKS! Turn it on and you get a healthy humm from the unit. I took it outside at night and used an IR light and, sure enough, it works great. The glass is clear and not scratched. I do not have the case for it.

    What would be a fair price for me to ask to someone that just cant live without it in their collection?

    Thanks in advance!

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
