Battle Of Britain Oval Gunsight (pg2 Gun)
A/M 8B/2493 MK
II
The Holy Grail
of Gunsight's. Probably
the rarest and most sought after Gunsight of the early war,
when Britain and its Commonwealth stood alone. The oval
glass reflector Gunsight was used throughout the Battle of
Britain and replaced soon after by the square glass type.
Some corrosion on the data plate. I have removed the
rubber from the front as it appeared badly burned and
detracted from the Gunsight's appearance. The remains of the
rubber will be supplied to the purchaser. The gunsight will
also be supplied with a fitted new cut
glass before despatch. The reticule is damaged and
needs a new filter. This gunsight apart from the new cut
glass is 100% original.
You can also make out the oval sight in
the picture of Ginger Lacey in
his Battle of Britain
Spitfire. Also note the square
mirror available in pg 2 misc section.
James Harry Lacey was born on
February 1st 1917 at Wetherby, Yorkshire, and left King
James’ Grammar School, Knaresborough in 1933. After four
years as an apprentice pharmacist he joined the
RAFVR (Royal Air Force
Volunteer Reserve) in January 1937 as a trainee pilot at
Perth, Scotland. Two years later, he joined 1 Squadron at
Tangmere. During the Battle of Britain,
Lacey became one of the highest
scoring pilots of the conflict. His first kill of the
battle was on July 20th when he shot down a Bf109. He then
claimed a destroyed Ju87 and a “probable” Ju87 on August
12th along with a damaged Bf110 and damaged Do17 on August
15th, a probable Bf109 on August 16th, he destroyed a Ju88,
damaged a Do17 on August 24th and shot down a Bf109 on
August 29th. On August 23rd, Lacey was
awarded the DFM.

B17/B24 Turret Gunsight(pg1 gunsight)
Mint in its
original box this Gun sight was used in the turrets of the
B17 and B24 Bomber.
The B17 Flying Fortress, together with
the B24 Liberator, bore the brunt of American daylight
strategic bombing in the European theatre during the Second
World War. At the height of production Boeing’s Seattle
plant alone produced a completed aircraft every ninety
minutes. A total of 12731 Fortresses were manufactured of
which just over two-hundred were supplied to the RAF.
Although often overshadowed by the B17 Flying Fortress, the
B24 Liberator was built in greater numbers than any other US
military aircraft and served with distinction in both war
and peace. The first B24 Liberator made its maiden flight on
29 December 1939

RFC WW1 Gun sight (pg2 Gun)
I think I have seen it all
then a piece like this comes along, could this be the first
attempt to make a reflector gun sight?. The info I got from
the seller is under. If anyone can identify the aircraft this
was used in a 10% discount on any part on the site will be their's.
This is a small original reflector gun sight. It is made
from blackened brass and has a bowed glass with Red Cross
hairs. It folds flat and when the glass is lifted a
spring-loaded sight flips up. Likewise it has a
spring-loaded tray with a mirror. The base has a slot for
affixing. The only marking are BTF. S.GDG. AG. It is a heavy
quality piece and came from an RAFA Club that closed down.
All pieces were donated by members. I believe it is a WW1
Aviation piece

R ussian Gun sight (pg2 Gun sight's)
The Famous
Russian IL-2 Sturmovik Fighter.
A really
nice Russian gun sight complete with its mounting Bracket. I
believe this to be a WW2 item although I have seen it on a
website that claims its from a Mig 25
sight-e-s.htm . I find
this hard to believe as Reflector gun sight's were being
fazed out at the latter stages of WW2 in favour of the Giro
Gun sight. The sighting ring appears with only natural
light and works perfectly .
