You are offerding on a VERY RARE and COMPLETE set of WW2 Imperial Japanese Army 8 x 6.2°Trench Periscope and Tripod! This style was specifically used in trenches and behind the lines for artillery spotting. These were brought back by US veteran at the end of the war.
Made of a solid brass, aluminum, and steel, this periscope is in VERY NICE used condition! They retainapprox. 90% of their original paint, and all optics are VERY CLEAR. Sadly, there is some spotting as you can see, and the optics are currently out of alignment (can be rectified by the winning buyer). Though it did not show up in the photos, the right side lens features agradient scale that indicated +30/-30. BOTH focal adjustments work PERFECTLY! Serial number indicates 4021. Spirit levels are 100% functional with NO damage.
The Sighting Head is original TO this scope, and features a matching serial number 4021. Spirit level functions as it should.
The set comes complete with an ORIGINAL early Japanese Tripod, which came to me with the set...so I am assuming they were all originally together, and not matched up later. Features a manufacture logo, but no serial # that I can see. Some paint loss and scratches.
Overall a SUPERB set, that would be VERY difficult to replace or upgrade! An AMAZINGaddition to any collection or display!
