gun sight off a german battle ship.
Hello, hope someone can help me I am trying to save this from the scrap yard. This was bought in the 50s by someone's dad and has been in a container ever since and been forgotten about. A friend of my has bought them for there scrap value there weight is about 1 1/2 TON'S. What he has told me they came off a very famous battle ship. Can anyone help please.
Can't help you with the location it came from, but it is definitely a German Naval gun sight from WWII and Certainly very much worth not scrapping...

A bit much for the average punter's collection but surely a suitable naval museum would be interested?
Not sure what to do cannot let them get scraped. such a shame.
What part of the world are you in?
Some museums are strapped for cash but others could well afford to rescue it - just need to find a sympathetic curator who sees its worth.

These could be from the Atlantic Wall defences, many naval guns and equipment were utilized.
I'm sure there are numbers on it somewhere which would tell you what style gun it's from.
