Can this be used as a range finder?
Richard Farrant Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 According to a number of entries on Google this was made for the Royal Navy as a gunsight for the 3.5" gun. http://www.byswordandmusket.co.uk/past-sales/telescopic-sights-and-mounts/ross-london-ww2-3-12-binocular-sight/
eddy8men Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 the cromwell has the no. 50 sighting telescope not binoculars
Chris Suslowicz Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 the cromwell has the no. 50 sighting telescope not binoculars Think "Cromwell" the WW2 destroyer and an anti-aircraft mounting (Pom-Pom or 20mm Oerlikon). http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/equipment-field-gear/ross-binocular-gunsight-301665/ Chris.

Lauren Child Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 obviously somebody got it wrong and they were 30 quid at military odyssey just thought they needed saving anyway nice box and how much is brass making :cry: It's a nice thing. I have to say, I wonder if there's an interesting story behind the Cromwell marking. Is this the same one that was on sale at war and peace? That one was marked "Cromwell IV". While it may not be a tank one, one chap I spoke to commented on the box being a rarity although he was passing it up as a better condition (but unboxed) sight was on another stand. As such don't give up - once you've identified what it really is I'm sure you'll find someone who'll love it.
