    Sherman tank periscope

    I have a model 6 US Sherman tank periscope. It is in good condition with intact lenses.
    I don't have any info. on it and would like to know if it is desirable and what would be a good asking price. Please excuse me if this is the wrong site to be asking these questions. Thanks.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Benny,
    I have several and I paid £40 each for them and use them with security cameras to view over obstructions such as walls into compounds. Hope that helps, sadly not fetching as much as people would imagine.
    Saw a current in service MOD surplus tank sight go on an auctions site recently for £150 so you can see not much to be made even though its WW2.

    They are one of those things that may not have a great financial value but have value as an interesting "curio".
