Spare Square Glass for MK II  Gunsight (No 6 pg2 Gun)

Finally after many years I have managed to have these new Gunsight glass made from the Square type MK and projector Gunsight's made. Although you would think these were easier to produce than the oval types they are not. The only way to produce these in modern times is with a CNC machine. For most machine's they are much to small to be produced and finally I have now found a specialist to make them. This is the prototype sent to me for approval. The corners on the production models will be slightly rounder as per original. The only thing we cannot produce so far are the bevelled edges on the top and bottom but this is hard to spot. I have test fitted this to a Gunsight and they fit and work perfectly. Finally all those  Gunsight's with cracked glass can now be made repaired.

Here is a really nice Gun sighting Telescope made by the Canadian Kodak Company used extensively during the battle of the Atlantic on the deck guns of 1" to 4.5 " on both Anti Aircraft  and Anti shipping roles. Fitted to Corvettes, and other smaller escort ships. It has its original keys for the box but appears to missing the rubber eye pads. The optics work well and the zoom or focus moves as it should.
