Hi
I acquired this gunsight the day before Shoreham, & have been told that it was made in 1940 & used on nightfighters, can anyone confirm this ?.
It has a small N stamped near the crown, I’m guessing that this signifies it’s use in nightfighters.
“I’m looking to swap it for pre 1940’s instruments, cockpit fittings etc”.
Cheer’s.

Confirmed.
If you look more closely at the sight, you will notice that:
– the usual classic reticle has been replaced by a single ring and dot reticle;
– the range and span dials at the bottom of the sight have been eliminated;
– they have been replaced by a single dial at the bottom for open/shut position that will, in the shut position, only leave the center dot visible.
Cordially,
Laurent
