Parallelescope & Sighting Telescope


Recommended Posts

I promised my girls (31/33) I would, if not rehome then, ID all my kit before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Not being a Arty guy I'm hoping someone can definitively ID these 2 pieces of kit for me.

I'll probably move them along as its not my specific sphere of interest.

 

Going by the small amount of info I found on the net I'm 95% sure this is a Parallelescope.....

The scope below has 2 nomenclatures stamped into it.

" Periscopic Prisim Co Ltd

London

1917

Variable Power Telescope No2

No. 796"

 

all of the above has been 'struck out' and on the barrel of the scope is

"Telescope Sighting No38 MkII

OS 76 GA

B.B. Ltd 1942

No. 508"

 

just wondering if the sight is for a particular field piece?

all the best,

Brent
