1943 WWII CANON BORESIGHT SCOPE
W. OTTWAY&CO, EALING, LONDON
Excellent condition in original case
Rare piece of WWII era history for the discerning collector

 

The scope is in excellent condition and comes in the original wooden case as pictured.
The optics are nice and clear and the focus ring works as intended.
The scope is intended to be inserted into the barrel of a cannon in order to align the barrel of the cannon with the external aiming device.
Manufactured by W. Ottway& Co in 1943, it is entirely possible that it was used during WWII. There are signs of use, so it was definitely issued and used.
Please see following images for all inscriptions and markings.
Total length is 37cm and it is made from solid brass throughout, painted black.
It has a corrective eyepiece and focus is from 10 feet to infinity
Please use the images to verify condition and feel free to ask any questions.
