    Bit of a specialist item. Find the right place to sell first. Valuations of old antique items are just personal opinions. Might be more desirable / valuable to a general era collector than a shooter.

    You may be amazed at what will sell ' A few years ago I sold an old scope on the bay ,A Winchester 4x20 15 1/4 inch long with adjustable external claw mounting's on it put about 6 pictures in the listing including a picture of the reticule through the scope and expected £15-20 for it and it went to a buyer in Denver Colorado for £165-00 , I checked the buyer out 100% feedback and messaged him about it and the big clue to him was the exact length made it something to do with being amongst one of the first sniper scopes used by the USA in WW1.

    Look's like it is a sight for an anti tank gun circa 1943

    Two or more collectors bidding. Just goes to show ones man's low value rubbish is another's gold & definatel nice to get a good result for collector who's probably been searching for ages & yourself to advertise right place right time.

    It's an anti tank gunsight off a 6pr HV gun
    Artillery scopes are quite common and are not much use for anything but display. Possibly worth £50 ish if you can find a buyer
