Vintage US WWIIArtillery Scope Type \"Telescope Elbow M17\", 1942, Parts orRestoration

Up for sale is this very vintage USWWII ARTILLERY SCOPE TYPE \"TELESCOPE ELBOW M17\", DATED 1942, for a USArmy 155mm Howitzer, dated 1942 and being sold AS IS.

The M17 telescope itself is from WW-II andit probably helped to popularize the phrase \"built like a tank.\" Itis. Aside from being a very nice military collectible, it comes with someinteresting optics including four turret-mounted filters, an Amici erectingprism, and a 28 mm Plossl ocular. The scope is in very nice cosmetic shape andis very complete, but its optics do need to be cleaned. (Looks like just dirtand maybe fungus.) Olive green paint in good condition, cross hairs in scopeare very nice, and the eye adjustment works well. It has four working lens(neutral, clear, red and amber).

The rubber eyepiece is missing. On top ofthe telescope is a plate that reads \"Telescope, Elbow, M17. The optics arealso very good Overall this elbow telescope is in full working order and is oneof the nicest piece I have ever seen. Will make an excellent militarycollectable for the military collector.

This M17 Elbow Telescope manufactured byM.L. Co. 1943. No. 1990 J.K.C. No other identifying markings (except for A-182865 lightly hand-scratched in the black-painted top lens housing). Veryclean, retaining almost 100% of what appears to be the original olive drabpaint finish. Probably a long range naval spotting scope, but possibly ananti-aircraft artillery sight. Optics are good, the view seems a bit hazy whenviewing near objects (the objective lens is large (2.25 inch), so the telescopemay not be designed for near-field viewing). There is a simple cross reticulein the view field (two fine lines divide the field into equal quadrants)allfour filter positions work fine (CLEAR, NEUTRAL, RED, AMBER). The ocular lenshas adjustable focus from -4 to +2 (this may sharpen the near-field view). Thefocus ring twists smoothly and has a firm fit. Telescope measures overall about11.5 inches long x 5.5 inches high, the mounting base is 5 inches in diameterwith two large (.75 inch diameter)(Shouldbe 3) captive knurled mounting screws that thread normally. All seven Torxscrews that secure the top plate are there.

Additional Note: As pointed out in one of the views, the BLACK arrowindicated a flat section of the outside surface, the YELLOW arrows points outthe etched numbers. The red dots on the neck is a receptacle for a light thatlights up the cross hairs inside (It works if you shine a small flashlight intoone of the red dots).

Height: 5 ¾”

Width at body: 2 5/8” (Squareend)
