fv1609 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Rick, Patt No. was often an abbreviation for Admiralty Pattern No. Unfortunately there are no other clues with that because the current Navy Inventory Management Code fills G300 section with sewage, garbage, shredders etc :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well I think that is the number Clive, a bit illegible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 "High Angle" is RN-speak for anti-aircraft. At a guess it's a sight telescope from one of the various marks of 4" QF guns. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks for that. I have got it up for sale, really nice bit of kit. Its quite a substantial piece and fairly heavy. Looking for £150 if anyone is interested plus postage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
